A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Anonymous asked about finding a local mental health provider for working through their anxiety -- and there were a bunch of helpful suggestions.
+ Sandy wrote about how knocking down 787 and the South Mall Arterial could actually improve traffic in Albany.
+ What Frederick Douglass thought of Albany in 1847.
+ The schedules for the next seasons of Broadway shows at Proctors and productions at Capital Rep are out.
+ The big Resolution Shmezolution drawing -- prizes from Crave, Cheesecake Machismo, Nine Pin, Spa Virgo, The Spectrum, Uncle Sam's Candy -- asked: What are you planning to go all-out on this year?
+ Deanna tried out the fast-casual take on Italian food at Bellini's Counter.
+ Some discussion about the potential of bus rapid transit in this area.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: the proposed Albany-Rensselaer tunnel, comments, escaping turkeys, Patsy's, a pinball arcade, Frontier Town, going back to school, Parivar, wild game, Van's, Soul Kitchen, burgers, a blow torch, NYC, and a return.
+ A new sampler of local cooking classes for the next few months.
+ We talked with Albany resident Amelia Hershberger about winning on Jeopardy three times -- and arm wrestling Alex Trebek.
+ And there's going to be some new development at the Harriman State Office Campus -- so, what's the plan?
Thanks to everyone who posted a comment or shared an idea this week!
