A quick recap of the week

posted Oct 16, 2010

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

+ We talked with one of the founders of a community supported bakery that's starting up.

+ Carl Paladino said some things about homosexuals and "brainwashing." Then he apologized. Then, probably, he hugged some people.

+ The Amtrak line from Albany to NYC was again one of the system's most popular.

+ We asked people about their favorite vampire, zombie, monster, ghost or ghoul -- and then gave away Hellions of Troy roller derby tickets.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: the hipster bar rubric, Cooperstown, a cappella, the pizza incident, the groove, clams, absolutely phenomenal chicken, breakfast, Utica, walking over the Hudson, Rosie, a crumbling mansion, and the wonders of Albany.

+ Abby asked about a good place to get a passport photo.

+ We rolled the numbers on how much pot costs in the Capital Region compared to other parts of the state.

+ Fred asked about good bars or restaurants to catch NFL games.

+ RPI's been turning out engineers for a long time.

+ Shannon asked about finding a good oral surgeon.

+ And the 2010 Tournament of Pizza rolled on! Round 2!

+ Steve's picks for Round 2.

+ Results from Round 2 in the Saratoga bracket.

+ Results from Round 2 in the Schenectady bracket.

+ Results from Round 2 in the Troy bracket.

+ Results from 2 in the Albany bracket.
