A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Soapbox: Leah offered suggestions to the struggling Troy Food Co-op, and looked at issues related to gentrification in Troy. That prompted a lot of discussion, some of it heated. Mike, who's on the co-op board, offered a response and some inside perspective.
+ Mary was a judge at Hat Day at The Track and came back with a bunch of fun pics.
+ Eat this: Rare Vos and fries on the deck at Sutter's.
+ It's true: the Adirondacks are dark.
+ We gave away SPAC orchestra tickets (and a picnic) by asking people: What's the classiest thing about the Capital Region?
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: poverty, old houses, a lost fingertip, roundabouts, Yankee Stadium, a pink spider, Saratoga pizza, a ridiculous burger, lurve for breakfast, gluten-free pizza, Thompson's Lake, Walmart pricing, hummingbirds, and well-coiffed gentlemen smoking cigars.
+ JoJo asked about finding a good local upholsterer.
+ We talked with comedian Lewis Black about Albany and state politics.
+ David came across a wild turkey in is his decidedly not-wild Albany neighborhood.
+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: quite the whistle, hunger like the wolf, bathroom cleanser concerns, and a talking Donald Trump doll.
+ Danielle talked with Schenectady Art Night founder Mitch Messmore.
+ We scored an exclusive interview with Ryan Gosling's motorcycle.
+ And there might have been a pot of gold at the end of Lark Street.
