A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Some thoughts ahead of the vote this week about the major reconstruction of Albany High School. (The vote ended up being so close that it'll be decided by absentee ballots.)
+ A few historical photos from the first Albany High School (it was on Eagle Street).
+ Speaking of votes... One-page, quick-scan results highlights from Tuesday's election.
+ Julie put together some ideas for a day trip to Syracuse.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: fighting the fun police, jumping out of a plane, Owls Head Mountain, the Squirrely 6, rambling, a cemetery tour, the idea of a national university in Albany, trash cans, a pizza pilgrimage, Toga Nola, Peck's, ramen, schnitzel and calamari, smoked maple syrup, dogs on restaurant patios, moss-covered bison, and weeping over office equipment.
+ This has not been a typical start to November.
+ We heard about how things are going at The Albany Barn.
+ A quick look at another residential conversion in downtown Albany.
+ It looks like the city of Albany is setting the stage for a transformation of the Warehouse District.
+ We caught up with Sean Desiree to hear about what's up with bell's roar and South End Pallet Works.
+ And Ric Orlando took on Bobby Flay.
Thanks to everyone who posted a comment or shared an idea this week!
