A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ It's wallpaper inspired by Albany's Center Square neighborhood.
+ Romeo the Peacock still runs free in Schenectady.
+ The people at the Troy Bike Rescue built a tall bike called "the camel."
+ Call it a comeback -- a few local favorites have been reborn.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: longshots, old stuff, fairs, the Schuyler Mansion, the drive-in, Bolton Landing, cider donuts, smoked pork, super awesome grapes, old clothes, bias incidents, and signs of fall.
+ A big purple bookmobile could be yours for the low, low price of $10,000.
+ Sebastien sent along a really great composite shot of the Ferris wheel at the Schaghticoke Fair. You really should have a look.
+ A few of the items found on Craiglist this week: a revelation in Staples, an attractive woman named Matt, and a rather odd massage.
+ A local photographer put together a cool time lapse video of places around Albany.
+ The story behind Sam Wilson, Troy icon and the inspiration for Uncle Sam.
+ And we'll post results from the Tournament of Pizza entry voting next week! Here's what the leaderboard looked like on Thursday.
