A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past summer week on AOA:
+ Lauren explored Hudson Crossing Park.
+ A historian said he's determined the site of the first Dutch settlement at what's now Albany.
+ The Wellington annex is set for implosion.
+ Deanna says don't wait on the pulled pork at Stockyard Bar-B-Q.
+ M asked about restaurants that accommodate dogs.
+ A quick scan of local projects hoping to score money in the next round of the state's Regional Economic Development Council game show.
+ A bunch of interesting comments about a push for protected bike lanes.
+ Julie asked about finding local places for good peaches.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: "cowardice" and compassion, an unusual story, summer trips, tubing, a mission to find blooms, Hoosick Falls, Texas de Brazil, brunch at The Low Beat, Dock Brown's, boneless wings, a veggie burger, BCTC, patience for fall, crowdsourced hydrology, a new home, and that first month.
+ We talked with the historians behind 98 Acres in Albany, a project that's turning up some excellent photos of the neighborhood that was replaced by the ESP.
+ Jason asked about finding moving help for hire.
+ And tickets are still available for the AOA Farm Tour.
Here's the whole week all lined up.
Thanks to everyone who posted a comment or shared an idea or photo this week!
