What's up in the Neighborhood
Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: the Tour de Fish Fry, cat poop, Brooklyn and Troy, a critique, pedestrians risking harm, the rodeo, Garden Bistro 24, lobster, Taylor ham, the Catskills, liquid nitrogen, a birthday margarita, boxing, a very fine cat, and ribbons.
The results are in from Daniel B.'s Tour de Fish Fry. Rochelle has photos and thoughts.
Laura wondered if you could report owners of outdoor cats for not picking up after their pets.
A trip to Brooklyn prompted Kevin to think about Troy.
The Idiots had a rather short, and pointed, critique of Saratoga Springs being designated one of the country's best small towns.
FiS Dan says crossing a street in Saratoga as a pedestrian is "taking your life into your hands" -- especially during track season.
Kristi pulled together a list of interesting engagement shoot spots in the Capital Region.
The Exiles had a good time at the Double M Rodeo in Ballston Spa. (And they visited "a lovely little surprise nestled in the edge of suburbia.")
Albany Jane arranged a special meal for her family at Garden Bistro 24.
Albaniana and her kids got liquid nitrogen ice cream in Altamont.
One of Steve's readers asked about the best local place for lobster.
Mr. Dave spotted actual Taylor ham at Price Chopper.
Leah the Nosher came to understand why people vacation in the Catskills -- or, at least, one part of it.
If you every wondered if Jerry could finish the giant birthday margarita at Bombers, here's the answer.
Stephanie had an emotional visit to the Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota.
Akum's cat has lived what sounds like a long, good life after being named for a noted Albany architect -- and now it's time to say goodbye.
And we won't spoil Chuck's post about his photos competing at the Altamont Fair...
Say Something!
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.

I was going to post a picture of the remains, but it seemed redundant. Thanks for linking that, guys. I love Bombers (Schenectady).
