A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Jess told us about some fun headbands by local designer Casey Dwyer.
+ We talked with one of the New York State investigators who went undercover to bust black market sales of animals.
+ Eat this: the carnitas burrito bowl at Chipotle.
+ Jess told us about the virtual tattoo parlor built by a local company.
+ The DMV released the design for the new license plate -- and it seemed like everyone had a reaction.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: quality time with llamas, the humane society, hiking, odd German cakes, apple cider, the Troy Winter Market, potatoes, veggie burgers, a price cut, coupons, the flu and those people.
+ Kaitlin went shopping around the Capital Region for boots.
+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: a lonely golfish, tickles, a beautiful girl on the bus, meddling kids, a guy wearing Crocs and a lobster that sings Elvis.
+ The vintage photo blog Shorpy featured a 104-year-old photo from the Capitol, which prompted us to look into the history of "the Million Dollar Staircase."
+ Both Siena and UAlbany tipped off their basketball seasons.
+ And Albany County is holding a big H1N1 flu shot clinic at the TU Center on Sunday for priority groups -- you have to pre-register.

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.
