A quick recap of the week

week review 2015-01-30

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

+ The Best Dozen took Daniel to Hannaford and, well, we think all the donuts are starting to get to him.

+ We updated our listing of ice skating spots, both outdoor and indoor.

+ All that remained of the Quintessence building this week was the door.

+ We gave away tickets to a Valentine's Day dinner at Nine Pin Ciderworks with food by Jeff Loshinsky Catering by asking people about everyday expressions of love. There were some great answers.

+ Some "sliding" before-and-after photos from this week's not-quite icy, snowy, apocalypse.

+ Apocalypse or not, it was extraordinarily fluffy snow.

+ Lauren asked about good wine classes.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: on who is Albany, the state of our state, fire vs. ice, a blood-red path through the snow, a snowy hike, the King's Highway Barren, Lake Placid, shopping for art, quality ingredients, Crimson Sparrow, U Mundu E Ca, late night food, crimes and punishment, and old railways.

+ A checklist for Upstate Place/Rust Belt City is the new Brooklyn articles. Because... yeah.

+ Lauren Hittinger put together a day trip to Glens Falls and the Hyde Collection.

+ That land on the southern edge of downtown Albany won't be a convention center -- so what should it be?

+ An interesting, kind of beautiful map of the Capital Region's main arteries.

Here's the whole week all lined up.

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

The Scoop

For a decade All Over Albany was a place for interested and interesting people in New York's Capital Region. It was kind of like having a smart, savvy friend who could help you find out what's up. AOA stopped publishing at the end of 2018.

Albany tightened its rules for shoveling snowy sidewalks last winter -- so how'd that work out?

If winter ever gets its act together and drops more snow on us, there will be sidewalks to shovel. And shortly after that, Albany will... (more)
