What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: Chowderfest, a farewell, pre-kid/post-kid, picky eating, pretty easy, High Peaks, efts and aphids, Saratoga, Urban Raid, fashion, a New England Beer trip, cracking on upstate, what's to come, seafood, Mexican food, bread, the greatest name, and goodbye.
