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

+ Yeah, so, February was officially, historically, really cold.

+ Never mind the cold, Deanna said it's time for ice cream sandwiches.

+ There's talk about bringing the Olympics back to New York -- here are three reasons that's a bad idea.

+ The Solid Sound lineup is out.

+ Here's a rendering of the new visitors center planned for Thacher Park.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: Albany's problems and challenges, neighborhoods and community, failing schools, parking stupid, memories and media, shared experiences, lessons from relevant job experience, New York cider, supper club at Heather Ridge Farm, a beautiful dinner, chicken soup, Ushers Road State Forest, and tracks in the snow.

+ The Capital District is a finalist for national public art prize that could be worth as much as $1 million.

+ Glens Falls: 5-10-15-20.

+ Foods that are taxable in New York State -- unless they're not.

+ Sonic is opening in Latham this summer.

+ And thank you to everyone who's signed for the AOA birthday party!

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