A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Luke walked through the story of how 27 properties in a Troy neighborhood ended up in a shaky situation -- and the complicated path back that resulted in them getting back on solid footing.
+ Here's the new plan for a big mixed-used development near Quackenbush Square in Albany.
+ Deanna stopped into Mia Lucci's for pizza.
+ The spring slate for the NYS Writers Institute visiting writers series is out.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: 197 River Street, the Albany riverfront, the choicest spirits of our city, mother's Bach, the Huyck Preserve, cabins in the woods, birds, Brooks Brothers, Donna's, Fish at 30 Lake, Parivar, Field Goods, being open minded, and the last eight years.
+ Fred asked about good places to get gluten-free desserts.
+ We nerded out for a few minutes at the new Ice Ages exhibit at the State Museum.
+ Also out this week: the spring schedule for EMPAC.
+ CDTA's new Navigator fare smart cards are now available to the general public -- and they could eventually change more than just riding the bus.
+ We got a look at the new 3Fish Coffee in Albany.
+ And Carolyn McLaughlin is officially into the pool for Albany mayor.
Here's the whole week in one place.
