A quick recap of the week

week review 2017-10-06

Here are a few highlights from the past short week on AOA...

+ Tim told us about some of the weird things that were once on display at the old Albany Museum.

+ Deanna stopped in at Kismet for a stew "with its warm spices slowly simmered to create flavors that I imagine October would feel like if October was a flavor."

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: goodness, focus, Pine Hills, German newspapers, the remarkable hands of Mary Nash, Vermont, Stark's Knob, Nova Scotia, My Dacha, eating and drinking in Saratoga, apple trees, and covered bridges.

+ An up-close geographical breakdown of the voting in the Albany Democratic mayoral primary.

+ A walk through of the new 19th century fashion exhibit at the Albany Institute.

+ And here's the winner of the 2017 AOA Startup Grant!

Here's the whole week in one place.

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