A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ A boatload of photos from the AOA Rail, River, Hudson trip.
+ The state is putting up money for a new chip research consortium at the NanoCollege, a topic which state leaders say they don't understand. So, how much should they understand before giving out tens of millions of dollars?
+ Blueberry season has arrived! Here are some pick-your-own blueberry spots around the Capital Region.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: the Boilermaker, canoe camping, rafting, botanical bingeing, berry picking, Dancing Ewe, Another Fork in the Road, a cinnamon horn, pizza, beer, a hangover, small complaints, national TV, and not hurrying.
+ A new project is aiming to help transform vacant industrial buildings in the Capital Region into new uses (residential, for example).
+ That time whales swam up the Hudson to Albany. Really.
+ What it was like to be a teenager on Friday night in Troy during the 1940s. (This was a very fun interview.)
+ Talking with local tech firm president Annmarie Lanesey about new-schooling rebates, tech bros, and different perspectives.
+ Eric asked about where to buy specialty wood for craft/restoration/reconstruction projects.
+ And the story of the $1,000 tip at the Ginger Man.
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.
