+ R asked for some quick suggestions about stuff to do in Kingston.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: Hoffman's Playland, fireworks, all the things, snake chasing, Bear Swamp, Black Cat Cafe, a barley burger, Albany New Things, 10 changes, summer enrichment, a bell, and Ethelda Bleibtrey.

+ We scanned the summaries of the Capital Region casino license applications.

+ Eric asked about finding a good store for stationery and pens.

+ A map of breweries (existing and planned) in New York State.

+ We talked with Jasmine Shea, whose local act of protest against the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision got national attention.
