A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Nicole and Paul returned with a new Open House, this time a Sears Kit House in Albany.
+ A little bit of discussion about how mindset affects the way people experience winter.
+ We gave away tickets to the Collar City Fall Ball at Takk House by asking: What would be the title of your Capital Region teen movie?
+ Deanna was skeptical of the avocado fries at Slidin' Dirty, and then she tried them...
+ Andrew Cuomo said he'll be moving to raise the minimum wage for state employees to $15 an hour.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: flying under the radar, high-speed rail, Metroland, BULT, settling in, art, New Paltz, Toronto, the somber landscape, Innovo, a seitan chicken club, and too much.
+ New York's attorney general tried to tackle daily fantasy sports.
+ Anonymous asked a question that prompted a lot of good discussion: Why are so many people so intent on knocking down the Capital Region?
+ We got a chance to see Henry Johnson's Medal of Honor.
+ And some thoughts on the situation surrounding Metroland and the state of local media.
Thanks to everyone who posted a comment or shared an idea this 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.
