What’s Up in the Neighborhood, February 27 2021

Good morning, my dedicated blog readers. It’s Saturday, and you know what that means. Once a week, I share the blog posts and photos and podcasts of the people on my personal blogroll. Some of them were fellow bloggers from my days with the Times Union; others I’ve met through various social events; some blogs were ones I enjoyed while reading the dear, departed All Over Albany news site; while others were recommended to me. So these blogs are Chuck-tested and Chuck-approved.
