What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: walking the neighborhood in 1920, the urban fabric, leaving Saratoga, getting aligned, a less-than-great escape, Moroccan food, beer in Troy, pasta in Clifton Park, All Good Bakers, Shogun, mini golf, bridesmaids dresses, luck, and a lineup from the local news.

Akum walked down her street in 1920.

Living in non-urbia, Carl says there are "parts of the urban fabric I miss."

FiS Dan got the scoop from the owner of the Saratoga Wine Exchange about why he's leaving Saratoga Springs. (He also wondered why gas is cheaper in Glens Falls.)

Silvia explained why she's a fan of her chiropractor.

Ethan had a less-than-great escape at the Great Escape Lodge and Water Park.

Emily had delicious Moroccan food in Schenectady.

Jessica: "If I am drinking beer and liking it, chances are I am in Troy."

The Gastrothugs have not been disappointed by the Wheatfields in Clifton Park.

Both Silvia and Cap2Cap visited the new All Good Bakers location and came away happy.

Steve shared pics from the Shogun location that just opened in Albany.

Daniel has started writing for the Chefs Consortium.

Chuck organized a charity mini golf tournament.

One of Kristi's readers asked about where to donate bridesmaids dresses -- and there were some unexpected suggestions.

Albaniana's daughter stood atop the podium at RPI's field house.

You should stand next to Christine -- maybe some of her luck will rub off on you.

Jackie's eye for detail always impresses us.

Ned noticed that the bishop (or someone) is driving a rather nice car.

And from Kevin: "Top 10 Things Said on Local News That Could Also Be the Lineup of a Local Music Festival"
