A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Eric asked about the experiences families have had with Albany schools -- and there were many thoughtful responses.
+ We gave away passes to Albany Symphony's American Music Festival + a Peck's Arcade gift certificate by asking: What's you're favorite Capital Region body of water?
+ Here's the plan to connect two major bike paths at the Albany waterfront.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: scapegoats and change, discovering fierceness, chutzpah, mountain biking, Lake Bonita, Philip Schuyler's physician, the view of the State Education Building, making pasta, square pan pie, secrets at DeFazio's, and many miles.
+ Here's the Albany Police Department's plan to start outfitting its officers with body cameras.
+ A look at the recent batch of population totals for cities and towns in New York State -- a few Capital Region towns are among the fastest growing (by percentage).
+ Anne asked about finding a restaurant for regular group meetings.
+ A peek at the big, new mural going up on the side of the Quackenbush Garage in downtown Albany.
+ And more free summer concert series schedules: Freedom Park, Brown's Summer Sessions, and Music Haven.
Here's the whole week in one place.
