A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Another update on a former Startup Grant finalist: The Cheese Traveler! The deadline to apply is 11:59 pm Friday, April 4!
+ Chuck asked about finding a good house painter. (We could probably use another suggestion or two on this one.)
+ We gave away tickets to the upcoming Sean Rowe show at the Troy Music Hall + a Confectionery gift certificate by asking: What's your favorite thing about Troy?
+ It the Jeter-Papi line that divides us.
+ Union is up against much bigger competition in the Frozen Four.
+ Lauren asked about finding a good cleaning service.
+ Deanna explained what makes the French onion soup at the Ginger Man better than just any old French onion soup.
+ Donald Trump was in Albany Tuesday, but the interesting stuff was from Rob Astorino.
+ Laura asked about finding a good contractor for installing title backsplash in a kitchen. (We could use another few suggestions on this one.)
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: butchering skills, jobs, Miley Cyrus, Gloria Steinem, a bachelorette party, maple syrup, a birthday tour, Moveable Feast, octopus, poutine and banh mi, cobb salad, Tour de FroYo, old appetizers, trivia, ospreys, knitting, and the time when bridges were bridges.
+ A bit about the mystery of the yellow and red brick neighborhood in Albany.
+ We got a peek at the Albany Public Library's efforts to digitize its local history collection.
+ Would you drink tree sap?
+ A court decision between the Washington Ave Armory and the city of Albany came down to definitions in dictionaries. Really.
+ Lauren checked out Brits R Us, a new shop in Colonie featuring products from the UK.
+ And we were reminded of the simple fun that is gawking at things from atop the Corning Tower.
Here's the whole week all lined up.
