Night photos at Art Omi, by Sebastien.

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: a really long relay, Omi at night, the Starlite, the Big E, a tattoo for mom, pizza in Latham, Tierra Farm, bulgokee, Pho Yum, the New York System Wiener, rolling out of the restaurant, hibachi, pumpkin beer, a heart explosion, power, Henry Street, chimney sweeps, banana peels.

Jen ran legs of the 192.7 mile Adirondack Ragnar Relay.

Sebastien took some beautiful night photos at Art Omi.

Ashallann stopped by the still-standing-but-for-how-much-longer Starlite Theater.

"Mr. Dave experienced the "New York System Wiener" at the Big E."

There's an Andrew Cuomo joke in there. I just wish I was clever enough to tease it out.

It's a colossal social failure that starts with the breakdown of families and then circles back around to more breakdown of families. I've lived next to drop-outs, and I've seen firsthand the lack of parenting that sends the signal, passed from generation to generation. No magical teacher or administrator is going to reach down and counter that effect.
