A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past summer week on AOA:
+ Video and a collection of tweets and pics from the Wellington annex implosion.
+ A rendering of the Albany Capital Center, the building that will stand in place of the imploded old hotel annex.
+ Lauren surveyed Schodack Island State Park.
+ We asked about where to get stickers made.
+ The lineup for this fall's NYS Writers Institute visiting writers series is out.
+ We gave away tickets to the Capital District Community Gardens' Autumn Evening in the Garden event by asking: What local thing about autumn are you most looking forward to?
+ Courtney asked for recommendations for hardwood floor refinishing companies.
+ IT'S TROYBOT!
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: protected bike lanes, skepticism, deer and guilt, Westchester County, the Jersey shore, Glens Falls, high peaks, Woods Hollow, where to stay in Albany, beef in a blanket, pasta for lunch, good carrot cake, food trucks, the Bazaar Shirt, a daring chipmunk, the car dealer data industrial complex, and nuts.
+ Lauren pulled together a list of fun 5ks this fall.
+ After the "meh" response to so many planned buildings, we asked people about recent buildings that they like -- there were a bunch of interesting answers.
+ And we gave away tickets to the ASO concert with Joshua Bell (and a gift certificate to Yono's) by asking: What is something classic about the Capital Region?
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.
