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

+ We gave away front-row tickets to see Neil deGrasse Tyson at Proctors by asking: What's your favorite Capital Region star?

+ A few bits about what's up with the food hall planned for the Warehouse District in Albany.

+ Deanna says it's worth seeking out Emmanuel Thai (get the Massaman curry).

+ A few pics from the first roller derby game in the Albany Capital Center.

+ The details on the latest program aimed at chipping away at the number of vacant buildings in Albany.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: feeling deeply, melon tweaking, women-owned businesses, budgeting, Queen Beatrix's return, animal dentistry, the church that was in a factory, the floral floodgates, Good Friday at the cathedral, a cat cafe, local spirits, and the Spirit of Life.

+ There's a call to customize Nipper (well, smaller versions of Nipper).

+ We talked with one of the organizers of this weekend's Science March in Albany about the motivation for the event and the intersection of science and politics.

+ A quick look at the new Tara Kitchen location in Troy (it's now open).

Here's the whole week in one place.

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