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

+ We gave away tickets to the SPAC Winter Ball by asking: What's the biggest thing in the Capital Region?

+ Daniel stopped by the new Fin fishmonger shop in Guilderland to talk with the owners about how they source their seafood.

+ Sometimes buildings just really look like what they are.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: a grim reminder, a church brewery, snowy effects, a good time to visit the Capitol, pet policy, kicking it old school, Restaurant Depot, lunch at the Illium, a slice of Valentine's Day weirdness, winter beer at the Lionheart, best of picks, hot yoga, badminton, and pencils.

+ We took a look at income distribution in the Capital Region.

+ The Solid Sound Festival lineup is looking pretty good.

+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: a co-op pickup line, hitting on the person who hit you, ticklers of the Capital Region, a carousel horse.

+ We baked up a fluffy infographic for Valentine's Day.

+ And we asked people what they'd like AOA to be in the future. Thank you for all the suggestions.

Thanks to everyone who posted a comment or shared an idea or photo this week!

I wish his opponent ... had provided more detailed background in his candidate statement regarding his credentials beyond his family's love of he library and his professional work as an environmental scientist. However, there were no swastikas so I'm voting for the candidate without swastikas.
