What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: a flying fire truck, farm work, roudabouts, conservatism, Stewart's, TNO, secret gardens, tiny creatures, honey ham, bacon bourbon, gelato, truth in advertising, sheep, and a sprouting sneaker.

Chuck went to Eve of Destruction and took some awesome photos.

Drew says working at Kilpatrick Family Farm "taught me more than any Michael Pollan book every could." (Also, Drew is leaving -- we wish him the best on his new path.)

Thanks as always, guys. AoA is just as "insane" as the honey ham, all in a good way, of course.
