A quick recap of the week

week review 2012-09-29

Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:

+ There were a lot of people at Pearl Palooza for Phantogram.

+ Sebastien shared photos from the Color Me Rad 5k.

+ The slate for this year's Film Columbia is out.

+ Casey shared a few bars in the area that offer a little different of an experience.

+ Mindy asked about where to get a wedding dress cleaned and preserved.

+ Duck, duck, duck...

+ What was up in the neighborhood this week: a land bank, Benjamin Franklin, cider donuts, Center Square, Pearl Palooza, dental care, a disturbance in the hot dog force, Dave from Burger Centric, Korean food, Finnbar's, quesadillas in Troy, the price of a glass of wine, a sandwich lover's dream, rum cake, a fire tower, George Washington, Monument Mountain, gravestones, an out of place tomato.

+ Valerie asked about finding a good snow removal service.

+ Well, that's one (bad) way to get parking space at the ESP.

+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: waiting in line for the new iPhone, sweatpants failure, a corn crib, and a boar head.

+ Roy McDonald stopped his campaign for the state Senate.

+ Here are a bunch of concerts that are coming up over the next few months.

+ And it's pumpkin (fill in the blank) season -- Casey shared a few local treats.
