What’s Up in the Neighborhood, December 7, 2019

So … I don’t know if this is significant or not, but I’m signifying it anyway.

Last year, the wonderful website All Over Albany closed its doors.  Every Wednesday, they had a feature called “What’s Up in the Neighborhood,” where they listed the comings and goings of their bloggers.

I liked All Over Albany.  I really did.  And I felt bad when they ended publication.

So I took that one recurring feature of theirs – and added it to my regular “7 and 7 on Saturday” blog recap, and “What’s Up in the Neighborhood” continues to this day.  I’ve added more blogs since then, and it’s been a great recap not only of the local Capital District blog community, but for bloggers outside the area as well.

So enough about somber anniversaries.  Let’s do some blog-recaps from this week’s batch of blog goodness, shall we?
