A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past summer week on AOA:
+ Lauren talked with Sean Desiree of South End Pallet Works, who's turning discarded wood pallets into furniture.
+ CSR asked about finding a good real estate agent for Center Square.
+ A short history of Albany's water system -- a not-insignificant portion of its water mains are 150 years old, and there might even be some sections made out of wood.
+ We gave away tickets to Rest Fest by asking: What's something in the Capital Region that you'd like to restore?
+ Carolyn asked about easy trips from Albany to tropical locales.
+ Lauren talked with Emily Armstrong about the Little Free Libraries of Troy.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: when nothing seems like the right thing to say, cycling response, the Palmer-Gavit House, Montreal, the Berkshires, riverbank flowers, Blackhead Mountain, polo, Urban Raid, Sunday in Schenectady, a gem of a breakfast spot, bacon stromboli, and shrugging off the Altamont curse.
+ Nicole asked about finding a thing -- whatever it's called -- for attaching to very old sink faucets to combine the hot and cold water.
+ Deanna shared five winning food options at the Saratoga Race Course.
+ Lauren tried out the Capital City Brewcycle.
+ And we gave the Capital Region Bikeshare pilot a spin.
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.
