What’s Up in the Neighborhood, November 21 2020

Good morning, it’s time for another weekly recap of the best blog posts and articles and photos from my personal blogroll. This list includes many former members of the Times Union blogging crew (as well as some who are still on the TU portal, only because they’ve been “grandfathered” over and they’re not staff bloggers).
