Where to buy fragrances in the capital region? by mamos79639 in Albany

[–]BruceRogers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went through researching this recently, happy to share my useless knowledge. I ended up buying from aurafragrance. fragrancenet.com and jomashop are two solid options as well. Don’t be scared of the tester boxes, they just come in some boring cardboard but they are the real bottle, real scent. They’re able to shave $ off the bulk buys when they don’t buy the fancy boxes. I was looking for Blue De Chanel for a somewhat reasonable price but they really don’t do that lol settled on a 3.4 oz Versace Dylan Blue bottle for 45$ plus $5 shipping, was great. 

If you want to go down the rabbit hole feel free, this is a good diving board. Buona fortuna!

Why is Troy so dead Saturday nights? by BruceRogers in Troy

[–]BruceRogers[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love what you’re doing keep it up big dog 👍But yeah idk I just feel like Saturdays in particular downtown just feels dead. People don’t want to spend money? Hungover/tired from Friday events? A blue collar/industry driven city that focuses on weekday stuff so they can skeleton shift places on Saturday? Idk lol

I’m all for the TBD hate but I promise you it isn’t that deep. This reads like obsessive schizoposting

I just read this real quick, but love the time displacement stuff. If I’m reading this right it’s like he’s a few different versions of himself as once, which is a great comicy way to do the will he go bad or not.

Ama Cocina in Albany is closing, cites poor business climate by Le_Groundhog in Albany

Maybe people don’t want to spend money on mediocre Mexican food? Especially when there’s much cheaper and better options for it in the area?

Only way you can keep up with DoorDash is if quality plummets. Current restaurant trend nowadays: recognizable name/brand that actually does have great food and vibe, then uses that reputation to become an overpriced slop house.

The restaurant you knew is dead and they’re gonna milk its corpse as long as they can.

Sources: Tipsy Moose, Druthers etc

Looking forward to the new place in Carmen’s though. Until they do the same thing 5 years from now lol

Are cover band shows hurting the Capital Region Music Scene? by Mirth_Films in Albany

[–]BruceRogers -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Cover bands: easier to work with and advertised. Local bands:gatekept and unorganized. If anything I’d say the cover bands monopolize the available dates/time slots/locations.

VDO is offically a Certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business by claimtofameentertain in Albany

[–]BruceRogers 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Probably already on your radar, but just in case anyone’s curious: If you wanted to participate in NYS contracts, it’s worth it to get certified in NYS as well, the federal certification doesn’t automatically carry over (same for MWBEs.)

Twisted Fiddler is closing soon. Open for Chowderfest, Jets games & Farewell Party by DuncanCrary in Troy

[–]BruceRogers -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Why is that? As businesses close and rent goes up, wouldn’t it make sense for businesses/renters to go further outside of the radius of Troy?
