What's up in the Neighborhood
Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: photo finish, cider donuts, a bloody ambush, Swinburne, eating through the State Fair, seriously good sandwiches, Siro's, Octoberfest beer, ice cream, a stubby bottle bonanza, sheep, geese on leashes, ballroom dancing, and dogs.
