A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Quick-scan results from this week's general election.
+ Ahead of the election, we talked with the Republican, Green, and Conservative candidates for Albany mayor about different ideas they were bringing to the table and how to get to more people involved in the political process.
+ How's New York's counties split on the amendment to allow full casinos.
+ Mr. Dave won the internet with his tribute to Jerry Jennings.
+ A 7-year-old wrote a letter to the city about a pot hole.
+ We got a question about finding good prenatal classes.
+ A whole bunch of concerts that are coming up during the next few months.
+ Greg asked people for advice on buying winter coats.
+ Sean asked about where to rent a log splitter.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: people who should have not said anything, BUILT, the undead, High Peaks, Albany Ale, different lunches, Halloween crodo, Umana, The Grocery, turkey, squash, a fruitful experience, and a spooky gravestone.
+ A question from Barry -- Why is my oatmeal approved by John Boyd Thacher? -- prompted a fun look into some unusual local history.
+ ChuckD asked about finding an instrument repair shop.
+ Casey checked out the Altamont Vineyard & Winery.
+ And an Engaged Person asked about getting local help in making their own wedding rings.
Here's the whole week all lined up.

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.
