What's up in the Neighborhood
Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: horse patootie, a jockey on a bike, A to Z, the Altamont Fair, mall food, a caterpillar, Western Mass, the ER, cupcake trucks, and photos.
Kevin says he "couldn't give a horse's patootie" about The Track.
Fun in Saratoga Dan almost crashed into star jockey Calvin Borel.
Silvia profiled her neighborhood -- A to Z.

Ellie had... excellent mall food?
Liz lunched at the At the Plaza Food Festival on the ESP.

Drew hiked up Mt. Greylock.
Jackie came across a caterpillar that was preparing for its "metamorphizing sleep."
Albaniana went to the Clark and stopped at the Grafton Peace Pagoda.

People went back and forth at Tablehopping about the best local cupcake truck.
Carey and Rob "put some miles on our fair town" with the help of some friends.

And two of Chuck's photos are winners at the New York State Fair!
Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

Thank you for the link on this. It's interesting to see how we've gotten a lot of "yes, you should tip," but not a whole lot of people came in with hard numbers.

Thanks for the link-up, Mary and Greg... how cool is it that the two pictures that will be shown at the NYS Fair - the Nipper statue in Albany and the Coca-Cola painted facade in Schenectady - have Capital District ties? Almost makes me think I should have photographed the metal statue of Uncle Sam and tried for a trifecta...
