What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: the Ruck, concert cycling, crepes, roller derby, sexist bartending, Poestenkill Gorge, The Track, milk, doing the right thing, linen, Salt, and a debt of kindness.

Albany Jane went for some wings at the Ruck.

Rob and Carey biked to SPAC for the Goo Goo Dolls concert.

Jen had a "to die for" peach crepe at Apertivo -- and then went to the Hellions bout.

Let it be known: Kristi is "a bit of a sexist bartender."

The Exiles went to Poestenkill Gorge.

Matt had some complaints about The Track.

FiS Dan named his "top 10 coolest places" in Saratoga.

Daniel has a tough time finding his preferred type of milk locally.

Steve, response to a reader question: "I would like to think that doing the right thing -- while also being being adult, polite and discreet -- is, well, the right thing to do and doesn't automatically deserve extra compensation."

While at a garage sale, Bee Balm Gal picked up some linen that had been "too good to use."

Kevin says Salt is probably best categorized as a comedy.

Rebecca enjoyed the roasted vegetable sandwich at Putnam Market.

Paula got a look at what's holding the facade of the old Wellington Row together.

A farewell message from Casey: "I don't feel pity for you; just a bittersweet feeling in my tummy, fearing the worst (that I can only get $100 for you and you'll be gutted and sold for parts)."

Chuck paid a "debt of kindness" forward by donating one of his prints to an auction for the Mohawk & Hudson River Humane Society.
