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

+ Here's the full music schedule for this weekend's LarkFest.

+ A map of a bunch of hikes suggested by DEC that are not the High Peaks. (DEC is concerned about overcrowding on trails during the fall.)

+ The schedule for the upcoming season of the Palace movie series is out.

+ Deanna pointed the cider donuts at Indian Ladder Farms as an exemplar of the category. And you can have them with beer or cider that's made there.

+ Say hello to our new area code.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: Henry Hudson, fur, Albany aviation, the hall of fame, splendor, Lake George, the Saratoga Palio, Szechuan food and karaoke, garlic knots, nachos, shiso, and a goodbye to summer.

+ What if there were mountain lions here...

+ A quick overview of the criminal charges and allegations involving SUNY Poly, Alain Kaloyeros, and a prominent Albany developer.

+ A (growing) list of movies filmed in, or set in, the Capital Region.

+ And the finalists in the AOA Startup Grant contest presented this week -- we'll announce the winner on Monday.

Here's the whole week in one place.

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