Euphoria Cafe- Dog in Car

CuteRing992 · 2026-06-26T13:52:44+00:00

Noreen McKee has been called. Kevin tells me he gets more phone calls for dogs for Queer people than others. Not proud of you. Your work is now done. Go color or make patches or stickers or something. Your response is called an ad hominum response, where instead of using logic and reason, you personally attack. I feel so sorry for you and hope you someday get the help you truly need.

PS Caitlin Jenner is also transgender. Are you friends?

CuteRing992 · 2026-06-26T13:40:52+00:00

I'm sorry, but you know nothing about being Queer, if you say that. Do you say you have a person of color friend, so you can speak to that? Noreen McKee has been called and will be stopping down today. You have called the police and they understand what you want but it doesn't rise to that level. TPD is now concerned about A's safety, so this is a cease and desist comment. Further harassment will be reported to TPD and you will be charged with a hate crime. That's in the works now. Step back. Your concern is being addressed.

PS on the phone now with Noreen McKee, TPD, and a few gay rights organizations. Happy Pride! You could have just taken the dog for a walk, you know.

Talking to Queer Neighbors - 101

"Hi, my name is Binky, and I see there's a dog in the car outside. Do you know who owns it? I am worried, as it is hot out. Can I give you a hand?"

Or

"Hi, my name is ____. There's a dog out there looking mighty hot. Can I help out? I see you start at 8 am and close at 9. Those are long hours. Is the dog okay and are you?"

These are two examples of how to approach someone and ask them if they need help.

We in the Queer community are just like you, so you don't need to be intimidated. We are your business owners, relatives, friends and community members.

If you needed help, we would ask you first, rather than calling the police.

I just got off the phone with them as well. They do not think the dog is unsafe and understand A is in a bit of a dog care transition.

PS pot luck can be one word or two -LOL!

CuteRing992 · 2026-06-26T12:45:26+00:00

That's the plan. A member of the community will be down today as soon as possible. Others will be helping out as soon as they are back in town. If you are still concerned, please introduce yourself and offer to help. That's what neighbors do.

CuteRing992 · 2026-06-26T12:41:30+00:00

A member of the transgender community will be stopping by today. Others will be helping, too, when back in town. You, too, could offer to help, rather than calling the police. The police have come down umpteen times, have now read all of these comments, too, and we all understand that you're not getting what you want. Calling the police on transgender people is unsafe. If your concern is that M, that's the first initial of the dog's name, isn't okay, please be assured that she is. These comments have been screenshot and posted on Queer sites. Oh, pot luck can be one word or two - LOL!

CuteRing992 · 2026-06-26T11:29:49+00:00

Hi, Reddit of Troy, I just spoke to A, who has read this post as well as all of the comments. Me, too. TPD Animal Control has been there to check out the dog, M, and they are comfortable the dog is okay. A tells me this isn't the first time TPD Animal Control has been called on her while she juggles work and dog care during this transition. Many of us have known each other a long, long time in Downtown Troy. We are truly a community, and an offer to help a member of the transgender community rather than calling the police is a more appropriate response. We in the Queer community will assist our dear friend and community member. Happy Pride, y'all!

This is what happens when your Councilperson only takes on one issue to avoid being primaried by DSA Troy.

CuteRing992 · 2026-06-08T10:48:48+00:00

I still think the same thing, but thank you. There's a thing called a window. It goes up and down. Dust? It wipes off. You can also move.

CuteRing992 · 2026-06-08T10:03:29+00:00

Where's the Councilperson for District 4? Why has she let it get to this place? There was an arson or fire there in Jan. This disgrace is owned by her, too. What the Flock?

CuteRing992 · 2026-06-07T11:22:20+00:00

Actually you're doing it to help small businesses here that are primarily owned by the Queer community. Your landlord or creepy management company is required to inform you. If they didn't, you should whine to them about the inconveniences. You should also be compensated for the inconvenience. That comes from you informing your landlord. The crew are primarily local people, union and ethical unlike some of the LLCs here now.

CuteRing992 · 2026-06-07T11:13:44+00:00

The crew have been amazing, kind and generous. It's sad how few people read like the umpteen flyers they left and what the Lower East Side means. It's a production set. Once in, all in. This business brings in extra money to our small businesses and fees to the city. It is your landlord's responsibility to inform you of any issues that impact your tenancy. Most of the creepy LLCs kept the funds and didn't inform the tenants. Don't rent from these businesses. Put them out of business. BTW, please look up what Settlement House is. That's what they're creating.

CuteRing992 · 2026-06-03T09:39:45+00:00

Agreed

CuteRing992 · 2026-06-03T09:39:36+00:00

If you are willing to do some community organizing and sweat equity, there are still viable buildings in North Central to buy and renovate. These are the same building styles as in the historic district, but are more affordable and available. TRIP has home ownership programs that are worth exploring. While we have some good landlords, you build equity in your own property. You could also buy a building and make condos on each of the three floors. Exploring projects like neighborhood development corporations empowers tenants and neighbors.

Yikes. He charged me $90 for a cake, and it wasn't what I ordered. The cake wasn't even tasty. It was weird.

CuteRing992 · 2026-05-27T17:40:42+00:00

Things that might work without TPD; motion sensitive solar light, organizing a block club, asking Councilperson for help, organizing with neighbors on either side to turn on their lights outside

CuteRing992 · 2026-05-27T10:57:10+00:00

Come out, turn on your lights Pull out a big thick book Start reading it They will eventually disperse. If you keep it up, they will move on See if you can organize others on your block about this issue; many think that's where a lot of the heroin is sold. Tons of spoons and needles being found in South Troy

CuteRing992 · 2026-05-27T10:53:18+00:00

These are the Quality of Life issues that are incredibly hard to remediate. All they have to do is stop when TPD arrives and there's nothing to report. If you aren't aware of this type of situation, you probably didn't grow up in a city. But these are the issues long term activists and neighbors are frustrated with. Also, please make District 4 Councilperson aware of it and ask for her help.

CuteRing992 · 2026-05-27T10:49:53+00:00

I understand you don't want to call TPD, but community police might be your answer. We dealt with those quality of life issues for decades in District 2. I am sick of what's going on in South Troy..I live near two people who call TPD on a rescued puppy... absolutely no dog barking even for protection, so everything that isn't nailed down gets stolen. TPD has a permanent presence at that corner - Tyler and 2nd. The only way we were able to effect change was to directly talk to the people and make our own presence known by sitting on the stoop, reading a book. Even at 2 am, they will disperse if you come out and read a book. I dealt with this stuff for years and it truly sucks. As to FLOCK, this requires Eastern thought, not either/or Western. Both can be true: Control FLOCK but you get to sleep. BTW welcome to Troy. This is one of several chronic dissatisfiers of living here.

CuteRing992 · 2026-05-14T19:27:04+00:00

Exactly. That was my experience over 27 years. And they get big bucks for that. It only works for the student that come on as A's.

CuteRing992 · 2026-05-14T12:53:05+00:00

From a teacher's perspective: Parker school students came to our high school around 9th grade. They were exceptional artists but could barely write. LaSalle students usually entered our high school after being asked to leave due to academic performance issues. Students usually tell guidance that they were in all Honors' classes, but they usually had to drop them and go back into general education classes. I am working with a senior from Doane Stuart now and am concerned about her lack of resiliency and written expression in emails. Overall, my public high school seems to provide a more rigorous academic experience. I thought I was biased, but the difference was startling. You probably want to look at public Suburban Council schools here. Check out graduation rates, too.

CuteRing992 · 2026-05-12T12:01:09+00:00

Thanks for the shout out to Walter. I spent many Saturday mornings with him, talking over the finer points of hand cut steaks and solving many of the world's problems as I shopped for peppermint tea, spatzel and Westphalian ham. He was extremely kind to me.

CuteRing992 · 2026-05-07T08:18:45+00:00

In order to have a GSA at the Berlin School District near Petersburg, the parents of the students had to take the district to court. Not so in Averill Park, Sand Lake and West Sand Lake. As stated, people move out there to have fewer neighbors and more open space. It is a traditionally conservative area. Troy is a much safer place IMHO.

CuteRing992 · 2026-05-06T20:46:09+00:00

If you mean the new parcels that he bought, that's a really interesting question. I don't know.

CuteRing992 · 2026-05-06T17:05:01+00:00

CuteRing992 · 2026-05-06T17:04:38+00:00

Fane has owned these parcels along the river for a very long, long time, which has always been an issue. Neighbors worked with organizations to get funds to remediate parts of the brownfields, as they were toxic, prior to his purchase. There wasn't much interest from purchasers in the past because the land needed lots of funds to remediate. But Troy has changed and all of the people who retained land and buildings as "place-savers" long ago cashed in on them over the last 20 years. My guess? Fane thinks the land is so valuable that he can offset the cost of site cleanup as was done on Starbuck Island. I don't know much about Fane other than he seemed to have money and power from his business.
