A quick recap of the week

week review 2013-06-08

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

+ A few of the (Re)Imagining Troy ideas that caught our eye.

+ People often say they want an IKEA in the Capital Region -- here's the thing about that...

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: not fearing for your life in Troy, growing in Albany, the rod of Moses, a storm and Stewart's, ghost signs, traffic, ABCs, flower finds, the Tour de Gelato, the Capital District Bacon Challenge, cooking eggs, splurges, CSA triage, cable, a summer reminder, and an unusual display.

+ Five of the big free summer concert series all in one calendar grid.

+ Rest Fest is headed to Troy this year.

+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: wheat seeking wheat, an anatomic bomb, a five-panel stained-glass window, a miniature filly.

+ We looked through some results from a dialect survey and map to find dialect divisions that run through or near the Capital Region.

+ And AOA is headed to the ValleyCats game June 26 -- maybe you'd like to come along.

Here's the whole week all lined up.

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