A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Sunday Soapbox: Martin shared how the Albany neighborhood where he grew up has shaped his perspective.
+ We got a look at the beautiful work being done by L'esperance Tile Works.
+ Lisa asked about finding a good stationery shop.
+ The ice storm left behind some pretty scenes.
+ Carl told us about the highway that almost built underneath Washington Park.
+ There's a factory in Albany where about half the employees are blind or visually impaired.
+ Akum asked about finding a stylist for long hair.
+ If ever you wondered: relative to most other places, we don't have traffic.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: real estate, MASS MoCA, demolition, grocery carts, cheesecake, fish fry, cinnamon buns, Fenway, woodpeckers, pleather, dancing birds, and inventions.
+ Akum considered our industrial past at the Watervliet Arsenal.
+ Everyone's taken a hit on gas prices -- sometimes even the gas stations.
+ Jen Hunold would like to politely ask you to be nice.
+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: a suitcase full of undergarments and makeup, old-school courtship, "high-caliber" intellectuals, and a ukulele.
+ Liz got the scoop on what it's like to drive the Zamboni at the TU Center.
+ There's a home in Albany that has a movable bedroom (yep, it's on wheels).
+ And terrariums are back -- in Troy.

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.
