A quick recap of the week

week review 2016-04-02

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

+ Syracuse advanced to the Final Four, which was completely bonkers.

+ Paula pointed out some of her favorite monuments in the Albany Rural Cemetery.

+ A moment of fenestration and reflection.

+ Deanna got a taste of Trinidad at Trinbago in Albany.

+ Erin asked about a place to recycle old clothes.

+ We dropped in to see a couple of fun art exhibits at the Arts Center.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: the people always with us, passing room, bloom season, gardens, an idyllic village, fire towers, Ten Broeck, healthcare history, splitting the check, TVs in restaurants, a crappy thing, The Sushi House, a cuisine mashup, Peking duck, and that time the ring broke.

+ We talked with the head of Habitat for Humanity Capital District about how things are coming along with the interesting redevelopment project in Sheridan Hollow.

+ Using some new data from the feds, we picked out some interesting bits about jobs in the Capital Region -- and how much they pay.

+ The music lineup for this year's Tulip Festival is out.

+ And it's maple syrup season upstate -- so Deanna suggested a few recipes for using maple syrup it in different ways.

Here's the whole week in one place.

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