A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Lauren got a look at a huge train layout three decades in the making that recreates Troy and other spots in the region.
+ "This was maybe the best 40 minutes any legislative chamber anywhere in the country has ever spent."
+ Tom Durkin -- who's spent the last quarter century calling horse races at Saratoga and other NYRA tracks -- announced this season will be his last. Robert Lee shared five of his all-time favorite Tom Durkin calls.
+ Whatever you call it -- or should call it -- Deanna said the shrimp banh mi wrap at Reel Seafood is worth trying.
+ A look at how people get to work in the Capital Region -- and how long it takes them.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: Neko Case, Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Izzard, capitalizing on clogs, the Idaho stop, downtown Saratoga Springs retail, the Mastodon Challenge, wildflowers, unicorn nectar, La Mexicana Grocery, poutine, nonagenarian commemoration, shocking results, and Mother's Day.
+ A little bit about eating crow -- in Troy, and in history.
+ Gawking at the design of the next building in the NanoCollege empire.
+ We looked at the most popular baby names in New York State for last year.
+ And Katie asked about finding botanical gardens in the region.
Here's the whole week all lined up.
