A quick recap of the week

week review 2010-08-14

Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:

+ Jess got lost in Watervliet and a Polish deli found her.

+ Lou asked about finding a good cleaning service.

+ You can never really be sure what you're going to find At the Warehouse.

+ A guy asked about romantic local spots to propose to his girlfriend.

+ We enjoyed a taco from Tortillaville in Hudson.

+ Carl told us about the Norman of Normanskill fame.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: home ownership, over-served young ladies, chefs, lobster, corn, disappointing beans, customer service, pizza, Saratoga, hot yoga, ospreys, Lake George and a visual joke.

+ We grooved on the soundtrack to a 1970s documentary that Chuck reconstructed.

+ Price Chopper is selling "locally grown" seafood.

+ This year's LarkFest will include a "silent disco."

+ Ashleigh asked about where she should get her VW fixed.

+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: a rugby player who paints his toes, adjusted womanhood, the search for a really tongue and... bears.

+ People called fouls on everyday pet peeves for our Hellions of Troy roller derby ticket drawing.

+ And MattW asked about finding self defense classes.
