The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: summer trips, High Peaks, to do, old locks, business names, disappointment in Sharon Springs, Fresh Healthy Cafe, Hong Kong Bakery and Bistro, adventurous cocktails, food festival pics, art for the deli, Philip Livingston Junior High School, dapper Albany, the mosh pit, and things the internet said to be afraid of.
