A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Soapbox: Leigh explained why Capital Pride is one of her favorite local festivals.
+ Speaking of which: Sebastien shared some photos from this year's Pride parade.
+ Tiny anti-frackers popped up in both Schenectady and Albany.
+ We got an outline of how the Albany residential parking permit system might work.
+ Deirdre asked about a good local spot for a bridal shower.
+ We broke out the latest Capital Region high school graduation rates.
+ Brett asked about where he can pick up web design/development skills.
+ Roy McDonald switched to yes the column on same-sex marriage legalization -- emphatically.
+ The Wine-N-Diner came to an untimely end. (We're currently going through serious Southern Belle withdrawal.)
+ There was a yarnbombing in Troy.
+ That's not a good sign.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: the Pride Parade, rock climbing, pugs, the spa, Yaddo, beer at the Van Dyck, strawberries, lamb, croissants, giddy frugality, Regent Street, a moth, mulch, and Lodge's.
+ We imagined how Schenectady ended up in a Google video.
+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: hitting on the boss, a lack of small talk in Subway, lamb hearts, and two tiny horses.
+ Pay and display parking found a spot in Albany.
+ Daniel B. asked about finding a good local eye doctor.
+ We talked with Troy artist Jess Fink about her newly published graphic novel.
+ And we picked five local stories that would work better as TV shows.
