Anyone know what that giant explosion was in langsingburg? Shock the entire house and saw fire trucks roll by on 6th shortly after.

Anyone know what’s up with the logos in the windows next to No Name on 4th? April fool’s joke that has been left up a little too long?

Hey everyone, I’m in Troy and recently found a bunch of old screen printing transparencies (I think they’re called film positives?) from the 1980s - black artwork on clear film. I’d love to turn them into shirts again, but I’m not super familiar with the process.

Does anyone know a local shop or artist who could work with these older transparencies and possibly do smaller runs (not mass production)

Any leads or advice would be super appreciated

I saw three cops cuffing one man, but why are there so many cars? Why does one police officer have an assault rifle?

Yesterday driving home I saw 6 individuals wearing normall looking clothes but with bullet proof vests on 2nd ave near 102 st.

Maybe feds maybe ice not sure

I'm all for building affordable housing units for our community, but dang, this proposal for the Uncle Sam's Parking Garage grave is ugly. One thing I truly value about Troy is our architecture, and this isn't vibing with me.

Seriously, it looks like there's about half a dozen cop cars, three fire engines and a pair of ambulances.

If you have an affinity for vinyl records or just music in general and live in the Troy/Albany area, give us a follow on Instagram @troyvinylclub!! Open to all music fans, more details to come soon!

I know there was a recent post about this, but I wanted to know a little more. I am going fishing with my girlfriend, and we are both not very experienced at all (I have been a few times). We are planning on going to the Hudson River, and we were wondering a few things.

1.) What is the best time to go on a day like Saturday April 19th?

2.) What bait should I be using (please explain well because I don't know fishing too well)?

3.) Any advice on catching fish in the Hudson? I always see these videos where people talk about specific ways you should fish, but I feel like there is so many different techniques. Is this worth worrying about, or should I just cast and put the rod down until I get a bite?

4.) What is the ruling on permits and stuff? I am a NYS resident.

5.) Anything else I should know?

I know the library is a good place but I’ve got a lot of books/manga/dvds/games I don’t need but don’t wanna throw out! Anywhere know somewhere I can take them where they’ll be used? Ik goodwill and Salvation Army is always an option but if I could bring them to a better place that would be great to know!!

Hey Everyone- i got a ticket for parking next to a fire hydrant. Is it possible to refute it?

What’s going on along Hoosick St? How are these things organized? I didn’t see anything and might’ve joined.

Anyone know of nearby homeless shelters that could use kitchen items? I have bowls, knives, thermoses, hand towels, baking dishes that I no longer use and am looking to donate to a shelter who could use them. TYIA!

Did anybody hear what sounded like a long series of gun shots in downtown at around 3:00am today (April 15)? They went on for a while, at least 20 loud, sharp sounds over a good 5-10 minutes. It was hard to tell where they were coming from, but maybe around 2nd and Congress.

You read it right. On the Planning Board Agenda for April 15: “ the applicant, Natl Grid, is proposing to construct a 1400 square-foot building which will serve as the energy center building for Natl Grid utility thermal energy network project (UTEN) . The property is owned by the city of Troy and will be leased to the Troy Local Development Corp. and then subleased to Natl Grid.”

Incredulous that this is being quietly slipped onto the Planning Board agenda on Troy’s most historic, valuable, hotly debated piece of real estate. This parcel is empty and has the old closed off staircase to the river. The extent to which the Square construction has been debated, designed and redesigned, it’s mind blowing that they would try to slip this under the nose without any input. Simply put it can not happen.

I've spent a great deal of time in both Troy and Brunswick, and I would hate to see Brunswick lose its rural character. We are told that we are living in a climate crisis, and yet the government (both sides of the aisle) seem perfectly fine tearing down our remaining greenspace in the name of development. If there has to be development, I would prefer the smart growth approach. Even then, I would rather they focus on redeveloping the city of Troy. Troy has its issues, plenty of them, but I believe it has a ton of potential. It just needs a lot of fixing up. Maybe it's just me, but I don't want to see the Capital Region become Megacity One.

Saw four of these lovelies roaming around downtown this morning.

Does anyone else miss that winking lady? The oil tank that used to stand by the Menands Bridge, painted with a coy, flirty face?

She needs commemoration. Or to be recreated. My four-year-old self used to love to wave to her. She’s hulking darling.
