What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: the warehouse district, Sandra Lee, stained glass, thrilling food, a crabby salad, Capital Region Style Mac Cheese, a CSA, Bombers in Schenectady, wings, pancakes, North Adams, a mattress sled, and Vermont.

Matt talked about why he "loves" living North Albany's warehouse district (and shared photos of his house).

Kristi wondered what exactly everyone should call Sandra Lee.

Chuck found out that Joseph Flood's refrigerator and radio business didn't last long on North Pearl in Albany -- but his sign has.

Steve says he had an "extraordinary meal" of "thrilling food" at the Wine Bar and Bistro on Lark.

Albany Jane had a "deliciously crabby" salad the new Kinnaree on Lark Street.

Mr. Dave declared that he has invented "Capital Region Style Mac Cheese."

Daniel B says signing up for the Roxbury Farm CSA was "the best decision I ever made."

Jerry was pleasantly surprised by his meal at the Bombers in Schenectady.

Leah the Nosher says the wings at Chico's in Guilderland are "insanity" and "delicious."

Jen had "amazing" banana chocolate chip buckwheat pancakes at Jake Moon.

Drew decided that "Grandma-retro-chic" is an apt description for North Adams.

FiS Dan ran through a few recent Saratoga deals he heard about via Twitter.

Daniel Nester found a document that would seem to point to the taxes having always been low in Saratoga County.

Amanda decided to focus on the upside of winter.

Bennett came across people in a good mood during a snow storm.

Paula came across a mattress sled.

Jackie followed a porcupine trough.

Yellow House Leah made maple snow.

For Rob, a snow day means someone else is shoveling the driveway.

And Carey and Rob are leaving Saratoga! (They're moving to Vermont.)

Thanks for the support, Greg and Mary!

You guys don't stop being awesome! Thanks! (that was a statement and not a command)

That mattress sled is awesome. I'm betting it only made one trip.

Am I alone in saying that I don't care what all these bloggers are eating? Let's find something else to post about, people.

The Scoop

For a decade All Over Albany was a place for interested and interesting people in New York's Capital Region. It was kind of like having a smart, savvy friend who could help you find out what's up. AOA stopped publishing at the end of 2018.
