A quick recap of the week

week review 2016-06-10

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

+ We got some details on yet another planned residential conversion project in Albany, this time in Hudson/Park.

+ Deanna pulled a U-turn and stopped at Middleburgers BBQ.

+ Omar asked about a good place to buy olives.

+ Sean asked about kid-friendly places and activities in the Lake Placid area.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: rewarding views, New Hampshire, wild calla, Muhammad Ali, transit systems, a puppy, cider and cheese, spring bites, Berben and Wolff's, elusive treasure at Stewart's, an absurdly devious smores dessert, a summer menu, picking wines, and a 15th birthday.

+ We put together a clickable map about city and town population changes across New York State.

+ A photo tour of the new Lucky Strike Social bowling alley/restaurant/arcade/concert venue at Crossgates.

+ A quick look at the new/old/temporary site for Alive at Five.

+ And Strawberry season is back! Here are a bunch of pick-your-own strawberry farms around the region.

Here's the whole week in one place.

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