The Cheese Traveler’s Grand Opening Extravaganza!
There was nothing I didn't like during my brief visit at my neighborhood's newest destination - The Cheese Traveler. The joint was jumping with a literal crowd of people - awesome! I saw a number of familiar faces; including newly elected Assembly Representative, Pat Fahy, and independent business owners Nick and Britin from All Good … Continue reading The Cheese Traveler’s Grand Opening Extravaganza!
Blocks of conversation at BUILT
Saturday night was the Historic Albany Foundation's annual art auction/fundraiser hosted at the stunningly beautiful (and really well-lit, Nick) Cathedral of All Saints.

We decided on a date and a destination and I immediately began … Continue reading Woodstock!
