All Over Albany

A quick recap of the week

Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:

+ Soapbox: Kim made the case for preserving the Black Bridge in Cohoes, despite the unfortunate incident there.

+ Jeff asked about finding a good laundromat.

+ Daniel says you eat the chilaquiles at the Point Cafe.

+ We did a quick scan of Andrew Cuomo's proposed state budget.

+ One of our favorite local nerds is leaving town. But not before sharing some fun wildlife video.

+ We talked with Laura Hajek (Miss Glens Falls) about her unusual run for Miss New York USA.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: the Albany Food and Wine Fest, the Tour de Egg Sandwich, General Tso, leaving peckish and underwhelmed, diner diner food, wine in Hudson, a different kind of Republican, getting carded, b-r-r-r-ding, throwing clay, periodicals, bundling, and the purty white stuff.

+ We gave away tickets to the Monster Jam by asking people: What would you like to crush?

+ James asked about good places to play pool. (We're still looking for another suggestion or two.)

+ Danielle told us about the indoor caving at Albany's Indoor Rock Gym.

+ We gave a quick look at the background on the org that put those anti-cheese billboards.

+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: a dumpster conversation, Absolute beauty, an unusual compliment, and eyes that stare right through you.

+ Carl looked into the question of what is Albany's oldest business.

+ Greg wondered whether you'd make a left on red.

+ Richard asked where he and his wife could have an indoor Nerf dart tag party for their son.

+ And we answered more questions you didn't ask.
