What’s Up in the Neighborhood, April 24 2021

Good morning, wonderful blog readers. It’s Saturday, and as you know, this is where I step aside and showcase the great blogs that live on my personal blogroll.

As you know, we do an interview with a member of the blogroll each week. And this week’s interview is with Carl Johnson, who operates the Albany-based history blog “Hoxsie!” And in this interview, he talks about the research he goes through for the blog, the interesting stories he finds, and where the name “Hoxsie!” comes from.

And now, let’s focus on the other blogs on this week’s blog recap.
