A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past (short) holiday week on AOA:
+ We gave away a few Peppermint Pigs as part of a traditional Airing of Grievances.
+ Crisan announced its closing its cafe, and we talked with the bakery's owners about the decision.
+ Lauren talked with Troy woodworker Jim Lewis about simplifying life and work, learning new skills, and doing the things you're supposed to be doing.
+ We pulled together a big list of suggested charities to support.
+ Rebecca asked about restaurants with cozy spots for winter dining.
+ Deanna stopped into the Schuyler Bakery and recommended the Paska bread.
+ New York dropped to the #4 spot in the national state population rankings.
+ Sonic says it's planning eight locations in the Capital Region, the first in Latham.
+ And what was up in the Neighborhood this week: making something nice happen, rebirth, finding a babysitter, OKCupid, hiking into the clouds, the paste fortune, quality and expectations, lost foods, brunch at Zest, head counts, a vegan hot dog, an entire head, talking ice cream, and Krampus.
Here's the whole week all lined up.
Thanks to everyone who posted a comment or shared an idea or photo this week! Happy holidays! We have some fun end-of-year stuff lined up for next 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.

When you say long winter's nap does that mean no Mary & Gregg for a while?

@mg: We're on break this week. Here's an earlier Ask AOA question about eye doctors -- there were many suggestions.
As for small appliance repair post-Lake, that's a good question. I'm not sure there is another place.
