What's up in the Neighborhood
Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: Victoria's Secret, catabetes, a player, hours, donations, Five Ribers, running, the Kayaderosseras Creek, Festival of Trees, the South Troy Burger, Henry Street Taproom, smores, Godzilla, ale, dessert, Chucksmas, and meatloafistry.
After trying to navigate through the tweens at Victoria's Secret, Stephanie started to wonder if she was "old fashioned and weird."
The onset of catabetes prompted Rob to consider how much he'd pay for his pets' health care (also: Walmart apparently sells insulin much cheaper than CVS).

Silvia started 12 days of Christmas with dining in her neighborhood.
Ashley had a Godzilla roll at Phila Fusion, and then had some donuts.
The Masticating Monkey tried some special holiday ale from Trader Joe's.
