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

+ We gave away tickets to the Capital Region Craft Brewers Festival by asking: What's something local on your must-do list for before the end of this summer?

+ A new map quiz: Surrounded.

+ Arielle checked out the new Flight Trampoline Park in Colonie.

+ Chris asked about advice for renting out a house.

+ Jeff sent along a great pic of a bear cooling off.

+ We looked at Capital Region high school graduation rates.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: high peaks, the inky night, flower hunting, an elevated highway, chain stores, strawberries, Parivar, Fin, the barge, pie, lunch, and unpremeditated miracles.

+ And it's fireworks season.

Here's the whole week all lined up.

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