All Over Albany

This week was brought to you by

Before we start the weekend, we want to thank the folks that made your AOA information fix possible this week -- the AOA advertisers. Like the folks at Best Cleaners. There's still time to enter the AOA/Best Refresh Contest and win a $250 outfit selected specially for you by AOA style writers Kaitlin and Eric. There's still time to enter.

The folks and Best can help keep your wardrobe looking looking great year round. They'll come to your home or office to pick up and deliver your clothes. No. Extra. Charge! And they fix shoes too.

If you've got something to advertise, AOA is a great way to get the word out. Contact us at advertising@alloveralbany.com and we can get you started.

Stuff to live in:

17 Chapel Boutique Condominiums in downtown Albany has 15 luxury condo homes left for sale. You can check out their new model condo and see the furnished rooftop patio. A special tax discount from the City of Albany means that combined utility costs, homeowners fees and property taxes are as low as $250 per month.

Helpful stuff

+ Sunmark Federal Credit Union is partnering with Regional Food Bank to help distribute prepared and non perishable food. Many distribution centers are underwater and we'll use branches as triage points for drop offs. They're also temporarily easing the loan process to get cash to people who need to make repairs, necessities and clean up efforts.

+ Best Cleaners will pick up and deliver your dry cleaning to your home or office at no extra charge. And they do shoe repair too.

Stuff to Do
+The Hellions of Troytake on the Main Roller Derby on Saturday, September 24th at Rollarama.

Food and Drink

+ Capital Wine on State and Lark in Albany. They've got tastings every Friday night, so stop by on your way out to dinner. And they've got great tips on wine and food pairings.
