A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past short holiday week on AOA:
+ We commemorated Festivus with the annual Airing of Grievances -- and a drawing for Peppermint Pigs.
+ Here are some "sliding" photos of places in Albany comparing how they looked about a century ago with how they look now.
+ Bryon asked about finding a good fruitcake, and we could still some use suggestions for his question.
+ Deanna tried the Dutch drinking chocolate at the Vischer Ferry General Store.
+ That Bob & Ron's neon sign could be yours.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: almost buying a house, the Bethlehem Christmas sign situation, a Star Wars marathon, the cycling history of Albany, governors, mountain biking, dogs, burgers, First Choice, brunch, beer bottles, and travels farther afield.
+ A quick-scan list of the charities mentioned by people in this year's holiday gifts interviews.
+ A quick look at how New York State's population total for 2015 compares to the rest of the nation.
+ And a few bits of local holiday history.
Thanks to everyone who posted a comment or shared an idea this week!
