A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ It's the pivot and center of Albany's whirl -- and back in print.
+ We gave away tickets to a Chefs Consortium event at City Beer Hall by asking: What are two local things that pair well together?
+ New (short) series! The Best Dozen -- in which Daniel will be eating a lot of donuts. He started at Bella Napoli in Troy.
+ How households in the Albany metro connect to the internet (or don't). (There are people still using dialup.)
+ T. asked about where to donate one of those free turkeys you get for spending x amount at a supermarket.
+ Fun: An Albany embroidered patch.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: sidewalks, the hardest year, the supermarket data industrial complex, Woodstock Animal Sanctuary, the best Danish, Schoharie County, Wolf Creek Falls, frostweed, fast food, Vegan Black Metal Chef, arancini, burgers, cheesecake, the lore of our grandmothers, an important chronicler, the Patroons, and doing your job.
+ Anasha shared a map of foreclosed properties for sale in Troy with us.
+ Lauren talked with the owner of Roosevelt Grooming Company, which is refinishing vintage straight razors in Cohoes.
+ Sean asked for suggestions for a good dry wall contractor.
+ And an interesting episode of local history that doesn't seem to get the sort of attention you might expect.
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.
