What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: Hollywood accounting, a great horse, police, a Victorian picnic, being car-free, breakfast, a foodventure, Sperry's, the new Shalimar, soft serve, lemonade, trout, secret gardens and Bish Bash.

Looks like some of the attackers from Leah's post were involved in the beating and robbery of a man leaving a gay pride event in Albany.

There's no link for CAPow. What'd she have for breakfast?!?!

Editors: It's fixed now. Thanks.

Thanks for the mention, y'all! :)
