A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Soapbox: a trip to the dog park got Siobhan thinking about whether dog people are a different breed.
+ All hail the new Tulip Queen.
+ Here are the finalists for this year's AOA Sunmark Startup Grant.
+ Graham asked about where to go for sports massage.
+ Veronica asked about where to go skydiving.
+ We looked at the average student debt of recent graduates from Capital Region colleges.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: not donating, Upstate New York Bucket List, the crazy woman shouting, ramps, a Saratoga food tour, Mother's Day, fried chicken, voting, customer service, and therapy.
+ Polling: New Yorkers apparently support a minimum wage increase and medical marijuana.
+ The outlook recently has been very bearish -- we checked out a moment of bear in North Greenbush.
+ Jessica spotted quite the cloud over Loudonville.
+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: an appreciation of mom, and RFP for a best friend, a guard llama, and Rainbow the miniature horse.
+ We talked with EBA's Maude Baum about how Lark Street has changed over the last 35 years.
+ Sean asked about how to challenge his property tax assessment -- they were some great answers and suggestions.
+ We looked at the most popular baby names in New York State last year.
+ And the 110-year-old Albany International facility in Menands is under contract to be sold -- so it can be turned into apartments.

Is there any way you can make your links slightly darker? The bright orange against the white background makes them really difficult to read. Thanks!
