What’s Up in the Neighborhood, August 17, 2019

Good morning, my wonderful blog readers.  Today will be a great day, I promise this – seeing as this afternoon, my high school friend Alfreida Tillman’s niece Nakia will have her book signing today.  The book, about Nakia’s grandmother (and Alfrieda’s mother), “The Adventures of Li’l Margie,” will be featured at a book signing at Capital District Latinos, 160 Central Avenue in Albany, from 1p to 4p today.  I’ve got my afternoon blocked out to attend, and I hope you can either find time to attend, or to order a copy of “The Adventures of Li’l Margie” online.  Here’s a link to the book page.

And with that in mind, let’s also check out the rest of the writings, blog posts and photos from the people whose work I’m proud to feature on my blogroll.  They include:
