What's up in the Neighborhood
Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: the Fussy Little Ballot, challenging your worldview, breakfast in 1750, an ironic effect of the gym, the OTE party, a Moveable Feast, AGB, bad recommendations, the gulf between concept and execution, a fantasy feast, a beefy dish, fresh happy yummy omg, Philip Sheridan, 1973, Mega Millions, and give the kid an ice cream cone.
Fussy Little Ballot 3 has arrived.
At Skidmore Unofficial, Bruce remarked after a "queer-in" at Putnam Den: "Want to practice challenging your worldview? Try being a Saratogian for a while, in addition to being a Skidmore student."

It sounds like people had a good time at Kristi's OTE party.
Both Matt and Steve hosted people for the Moveable Feast fundraiser.

Cap2Cap says Andy's smells like "fresh happy yummy omg."
The Exile noticed that the phrase "all butter" in what appears to be a supermarket poundcake description is rather generous term.

A guy tried to pick up Albaniana in the Vorheesville Hannaford while her daughter fed the goats at Indian Ladder.

Thank you for the loop-de-links to new AGB reviews by local bloggers this week! We've received a very warm welcome on Del Ave. and couldn't be happier in our new "home". In today's FLB post, Daniel B answers the question: "What Makes A Restaurant?" in response to readers' questioning us being nominated as "Best New Restaurant" on the FussylittleBallot 3.0 (http://fussylittleblog.com/2012/04/04/what-makes-a-restaurant/#comments).
