A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ We gave away tickets to the Lisa Loeb show at the Troy Music Hall -- with a gift certificated for The Confectionery -- by asking: What makes you "stay" in the Capital Region?
+ Sean Rowe made his national TV debut.
+ There's a proposal for a new concert venue in North Albany.
+ That prompted us to wonder about how the area's concert venues stack up in terms of size, from big to small.
+ Daniel says you try the boxty at Finnbar's in Troy.
+ Casey checked out the very popular monthly tasting of exotic teas at the Whistling Kettle.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: Sean Rowe, house hunting, an unusual ad, people who chose not to have kids, thinking about 31, supermarket flyers, restaurant pricing, the Capital Region's "Secret Hot Dog Shop-Phone Booth-Bar" taco night, cucumber/mango/salmon, Old Chatham, another act of meatloafistry, herzlichen gluckwunsch, turkey tails, and a dream window.
+ Troy police seized the bad kind of pancake.
+ It's true: ice cream stand season has arrived.
+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: pulsing electricity, double crossing, the pong scene, and a carnival wheel.
+ Xina asked about where to go for corned beef and cabbage.
+ Zach asked for advice on how to go about finding someone to install an egress for his basement.
+ And more bumper gawking.
