What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: Jerry Jennings and his signs, the canal system, photos in a sporting goods store, onerous demands, the Saratoga Wine and Food Fest, a cheese tour, gold prices, time running out, the extra mile, snacks for A Spot Past the Conifers, crazypants breakfast, a formidable sandwich, the Giants, ghost signs, and a stone dog.

Silvia says she hopes Jerry Jennings takes his signs with him -- whenever it is he eventually leaves office.

Carl hopes the the flood damage to state canal system ends up being an opportunity.

Stephanie says Dick's blew the whistle on her for taking a photo in the store.

Albaniana dealt with the "onerous demands" made by her daughter's school.

Recaps from the Saratoga Wine and Food Festival: Albany Jane has a bunch of food photos (thanks to Albany John), Daniel talked wine, and Sebastien has good photos from the car display.

Elizabeth enjoyed a cheese panino during the Washington County Cheese Tour. Jackie also took the tour and enjoyed peace among the sheep and goats.

Kristi took some gold to a handful of places to see who'd give her the best price.

The Idiots pointed out a few Saratoga things for which you're running out of time.

Chrissy saw a local sandwich shop owner go the extra mile (perhaps literally).

Leah the Nosher explored the snack tent at the shoot for, uh, A Spot Past the Conifers.

Cap2Cap tasted some "crazypants" breakfast food at the Iron Gate.

Jerry explored "a formidable sandwich option on the western end of Albany."

One of Steve's readers asked about the best bar to watch a Giants game.

The Exiles took in the rushing waterfalls along the Indian Ladder Trail at Thacher Park.

Chuck added two more ghost signs to his collection.

And Paula noticed a dog -- on the Capitol.

"Jerry explored "a formidable sandwich option on the western end of Albany.""

Western End of Albany? That isn't even the eastern edge of Guilderland...

It's the western part of Westmere, that limbo between Guilderland and Albany.
