Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: Halloween, unintentional scares, therapists, the Riggis, the truth about upholsterers, a burger endorsement, hot dogs, beautiful pizza, Provence, being literal, restaurant servers, rainbow construction, coldplaining, and things that set off detectors in the night.

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. Thanks for being patient.
