A quick recap of the week

week review 2014-09-19

Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:

+ Hey, look, it's a new in-between places place: Waterford.

+ M. asked about getting design help on a kitchen remodel.

+ Deanna said you try indulging your savory side at Sweet Sue's.

+ The plan for the big mixed-use development at One Monument Square in Troy has evolved with some significant changes.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: Hoffman's Playland, red light cameras, birthing lessons, having nice things, Roosevelts in Albany, the Long House Revival, wine prices, Troy on Tap, sandwiches, fried oysters, Shwe Mandalay, Thacher Park, Moreau Lake, and head cases.

+ There were pop-up shops in downtown Albany.

+ We gave away tickets to OktoBIRDfest by asking: What's something in the Capital Region that's for the birds?

+ Some new Census data gave us some sense about how New York State -- and the Capital Region -- compare to other areas on income inequality.

+ And Sandra asked from some advice on dealing with lead paint abatement in her house.

Here's the whole week all lined up.

Thanks to everyone who posted a comment or shared an idea or photo this week!
