A quick recap of the week

week review 2013-11-23

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

+ Kristin asked about martial arts classes for adults.

+ Thanksgiving really is next week.

+ Ellie asked about finding an indoor running track.

+ The Record and Saratogian are getting some sort of paywall.

+ Mik, who's new to town, asked about must-do winter activities in the Capital Region.

+ The state released a master plan for improvements at Thacher State Park.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: no effing clue, VegFest, DIY, farm breweries, doulas, Fudge Fancies, savory waffles, loukoumathes, calamari, a lunch secret, a vineyard, a four bagger, no-longer car dealerships, the Madison marquee, and paradise.

+ Six short takeaways from six short talks about downtown Albany.

+ We talked with MaryLeigh Roohan about Dan Auerbach, breakup songs (and let's get together songs), Scotland, and thunderstorms.

+ Among the items found on Craigslist this week: NO GOATS.

+ Comments on a link to an Onion article datelined Delmar ended up being written in the style of Onion articles.

+ The ESP is getting new lunch options.

+ The parking garage proposed for the major Park South redevelopment in Albany is... really big.

+ Elisabeth asked about finding a company to clean air ducts.

+ A new map quiz: boxed up.

+ And yet more bumper gawking.

Here's the whole week all lined up.

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