The Post-Star's Saratoga Snippets Blog doesn't get as much attention as the T-U's Saratoga Seen Blog, but it is a quality newspaper blog nonetheless. I just noticed three interesting entries on there, one involved an aerial photograph of the track another was about the wayward moose who was at the Saratoga Track this past spring and recently showed up in Queensbury, and finally there was a third one about the new Local Living Guide discount book being available. Great work Drew!

Oh Thanks Greg I didn't know that - that's great. Looks like the Post Star is winning a lot of awards lately. Didn't their editorial writer win a Pulitzer?
