A quick recap of the week

week review 2015-05-23

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

+ The At the Plaza schedule for this summer is out.

+ And so is the Music Haven lineup.

+ A series of upcoming events will be looking at the question of what sort of place should Albany's Warehouse District be.

+ Because, why not: A map of most of the ZIP codes in New York State.

+ The frozen yogurt at Ayelada turned Deanna around on yogurt.

+ Sean asked about finding swim lessons for his young child.

+ A handful of local crowdfunding projects in progress.

+ Sawyer Fredericks won The Voice.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: ideas for summer, New York's Mount Rushmore, Noonmark Mountain, the upper Hudson, waterfalls and bison, a farmer's perspective, Ramp Fest, restaurant snippets, Creo, Wine Bar, Slidin' Dirty, unusual beans, men of New York, Washington Park lake, and keeping your pants on.

+ -S asked about local summer suggestions for his 18-year-old sister who will be visiting from out of town.

+ A graph of every Albany growing season since 1874.

+ A suggestion for Green Island: dogs with lasers.

+ Lauren put together a quick guide for touring nearby wine regions.

+ The Albany metro area continues to grow... slowly.

+ And the return of bumper gawking.

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