What's up in the Neighborhood
Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: many lives, speeders, the American dream, mountain hiking, paddling, Westchester, Portland, Bacon Fest, Burmese food, a silence-inducing bite, coffee, chicken parm, letters to the editor, sound, Alaska, and ice cream-making women.

Stephanie: "I'm that parent who complains practically non-stop about the cars speeding by my house, and as of this afternoon, literally yells at people to slow down."
