A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Daniel continued the Best Dozen donut quest with a stop at Market Bistro.
+ Shawn asked about getting water line problem fixed.
+ A big, big list of holiday events around the Capital Region this month.
+ Here are a bunch of possible locations for the Albany red light cameras.
+ Joanna asked about where to take singing lessons.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: Thanksgiving, turkey trotting, Christmas trees, a day on the job, opened/closed, Korean BBQ, disappointing meals, burgers, pastries, the Pine Bush, snow shoveling, the steam plant, and friendship.
+ We got a look at the new Urban Grow Center in Troy -- it's the new headquarters for Capital Roots (formerly Capital District Community Gardens).
+ The co-directors of The Throwaways offered four ways to help change things for the better in marginalized communities.
+ We talked with photographer Holly Greene about her super closeup snowflake photos.
+ Holiday cocktail tour! We asked a handful of local drinking establishments to come up with holiday cocktails using local ingredients. And then we tasted them.
Holiday gift lists -- this year we're asking people about what they'd like to give, what they'd like to get, a charity they'd like to support, and a favorite gift from their childhood:
+ Lecco Morris from the Chefs Consortium
+ The Confectionery's Heather LaVine
+ The one and only Sean Rowe
+ Illustrator Elizabeth Zunon
And pics from the AOA holiday cocktail party at New World Catering.
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.
