A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ We gave away tickets to the Hidden City House & Garden Tour (and a Crisan gift certificate) by asking: What is your favorite piece of Capital Region history?
+ A roundup of when local pools open for the season. (Spoilers: Many are now open.)
+ A pilot program will be trying out bike sharing around the Capital Region's cities this summer.
+ Deanna recommended the meze at Ali Baba in Troy.
+ Mary asked about local contractors/options for rooftop solar.
+ CD asked about restaurants with good vegetarian options.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: Eve of Destruction, a scam, an outrageous example, garage doors of doom, Round Lake Antiques Festival, Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary, The Beast, Lisha Kill Preserve, World of Beer, a disappointing and confusing experience, Mexican Radio, strawberry scones, kebabs, feeling sorry for Eileen, and a new book.
+ With all the attention on the World Cup, we figured it'd be interesting to look at a reflection of Brazil in Albany. Yep, Albany.
+ What is that new structure atop the Corning Tower?
+ Alexis ran through some of the drive-in theaters around the area.
+ The popular Slidin' Dirty food truck is getting a restaurant.
+ And this is the hat.
Here's the whole week all lined up.
Thanks to everyone who posted a comment or shared an idea or photo this week!

Say Something!
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. Thanks for being patient.
