Thank you

aoa small box logoWe just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for voting for AOA in this year's Metroland readers' poll. AOA again did well in a handful of categories -- we very much appreciate that people are keeping us in mind.

And a tip of the hat to both Nippertown and KAB. We're happy to see other local indie sites continue to get recognition.

We've been at this five years now, which somehow doesn't seem possible. And yet here we are, thanks in large part to you. Thank you.

Birthday party: A bunch of people have been asking about this year's AOA birthday party. It'll be a little later than usual, but we'll have details soon.

I was just wondering about that (the birthday party) today! :)

You deserve to win, because you all work so hard for a quality product!

Yay AOA! Over the years, I've come to see you less as a mere local news site, and more as the sane, rational-minded person's answer to local news.

Thank you for keeping me (and, I'm sure, many others in the 518) from feeling like we're drowning in a sea of local craziness.

Say Something!

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

Talk about a business that's really exploded recently. I clicked on 30 or so of these, and only found a couple that have been around for longer than the past ten years! Here's hoping the next ten years are just as good for this business.
