What's up in the Neighborhood
Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: a flying giant clog, surviving the Battenkill, college rankings, wills, cider donuts, offending curry, a breakfast panino, lunch redemption, Joe's Crab Shack, Moby Rick's, apples, food swap, LarkFest, Bannerman's Castle, threads, and a moment in Menands.

Dear Monkey: it demonstrates a lack of sophistication and foresight if you don't.

Thank you, as always, for the link. I have to say that this year's Lark Fest was the best one in recent memory as experienced from my vantage point at the Wine Bar & Bistro on Lark. We were fabulously busy, without exception everyone was friendly and well-behaved, and we were able to show off what we do to a whole new crowd. I have heard nothing but positive remarks from every business owner on Lark to whom I have spoken. Well done!
