A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past short, holiday week on AOA:
+ Soapbox: Tim talked about how sharing stories helps build communities.
+ Emily told us about Ben Karis-Nix -- music's taken him to LA, around the world, and now back to Troy where's he's building another stage of his life.
+ There's a spot in Niskayuna where you can park and plug in.
+ We asked people what they're thankful for this year.
+ New Yorkers are charitable and like the holidays -- but they're not so keen on the commercial crush of the holidays, and they don't believe in Santa.
+ Siobhan told us about Troy resident Duncan Crary, who's just published a book about his ongoing conversations with James Howard Kunstler about cities and land use.
+ We heard about an Albany family's quest to find the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe.
+ JB asked about where he can buy a side of humanely-raised pork.
+ And what was up in the Neighborhood this week: a manifesto for winter, The Bear's, Scary Gary, nostaliga at Grandma's, New York wine, how cows moo en France, Old Montreal, frostweed, anxiety at the dentist, old trolleys, old cemeteries, Titantic survivors, a UFO, and fun with labeling.
Happy Thanksgiving!
