A quick recap of the week

posted Oct 14, 2017

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

+ This year's Columbus Day map quiz: 10 things that are related.

+ Theresa asked about where to get furniture repaired. (We could use another suggestion or two for this one.)

+ We gave away tickets the Albany Barn's Fusion party by asking: What are two Capital Region things that should be combined?

+ What was up in The Neighborhood this week: kindness, the healing qualities of nature, the Adirondacks in autumn, parking in Albany, Mack Brin, Kingston, Quebec, Utica food, burger chains, Indian food, Benedict Arnold in Albany, and making repairs.

+ We took a field trip to an orchard that's growing special varieties of apples specifically for making cider.

+ Scanning the Capital Region Economic Development Council's 2017 priority projects.

+ Julie pulled together a bunch of suggestions for a weekend trip to Ottawa.

+ The FranÃ§ois Stahly Labyrinth is back on the ESP.

+ Some curmudgeonly opinions about apple picking.

+ And the 1 Monument Square movie theater project is off.

Here's the whole week in one place.

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