What's up in the Neighborhood
Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: oft-repeated and probably wrong, old postcards, the German Reformed Church, the Albany Symphony, lilies, next business day, the Tappan Zee, Portland, a small town Fourth, the harness track, walking culture, D'Raymonds, Unagi, a dish set, and one last off-leash walk..

That post Rob wrote about his dog really stuck with me. I don't have any pets, and yet I'm still thinking about -- and moved by -- that entry which I read several days ago.
