All Over Albany

A quick recap of the week

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

+ Soapbox: Murphy Daley, a golden retriever, gave us a dog's-eye view of Albany.

+ Katie asked about good stargazing spots.

+ Hannah took in all the "stuff" at Aunt Katie's Attic in Scotia.

+ @paintaneight Rob posted a map of outdoor water fountains (and it was definitely the right week for that).

+ Owney, Albany's famous postal dog, is getting his own stamp.

+ Stephanie shared a quick guide to summer theater festivals around the region.

+ Abby asked: Is it Capital Region or Capital District?

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: last days, Williamstown, the world as God made it, the word "Albany," Lake George, the Arlington House, Bootleggers, fungus, cherries, blueberries, Peerless Pool, and package reception.

+ The Troy Food Co-op is in financial trouble.

+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: why all those people park at the airport, spanking in the workplace, cliff jumping, and Albanyopoly.

+ We collected and mapped attacks on food delivery people over the last few years. One conclusion: you should tip the pizza guy more.

+ Pasquale's, two-time overall champ in the Tournament of Pizza, has been sold.

+ We talked with the founder of a local coworking space that's aiming to open this fall.

+ Albany is... kind of tan and blue.

+ And we were able to add a second screening at The Spectrum of Virgin Alexander, the indie comedy shot in Saratoga last summer (the first screening sold out). The screening's August 3 at 9 pm -- tickets are $9.25 (the regular price at the Spectrum).
