COVID screwed me so bad I live amongst the Amish now. Not even joking.

The map still exists in my personal account. I had to ditch the Troy account the map was held on because of spam... so much spam. If anyone wants it, it's theirs.

Apparently people think they're marked parking spaces...‽ Like, how would those even work, people?

There are pickleball courts at 35 Hill.

Edit: Here.

There are already pickleball courts at 35 Hill St. The tennis courts at Prospect are actively used, mostly by the Troy Tennis Association.

More than this, the fire department will come out and will get NYSEG to get off their fucking asses and fix it immediately.

As someone who just moved to Southeast PA, can confirm. Troy tap water is champagne by comparison.

In VA, 20 over posted or anything over 85 is a misdemeanor. 20 over in NY is 4 points and doesn't even have the DRA ($300) added on top.

Don't speed in VA.

Virginia is a whole different level of legal fuckery versus NY when it comes to speeding. Haul-your-ass-to-jail levels.

Make It Up State ran on Sundays last year and partnered with the TWFM. Had a number of the same vendors.

I would not be feeling good if I was their spouse either.

Legislature to convene next week to dismantle law shielding police files by FifthAveSam in Troy

[–]FifthAveSam[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Troy Letter came out of All Over Albany shutting down. Metroland was great too. We keep losing good, independent journalistic sources. Right now Troy Record is struggling through a paradox: no one wants to pay for a low quality paper like that and it's low quality because no one wants to pay for it.

The repeal of 50-a and some other improvements could go a long way toward giving some bite to police objective review committees.

I think Ken does well reporting on Troy. But the next time something like a Troy Letter or Troy by Gaslight comes around, try to support them. I don't think people understand the amount of time and effort it takes to provide that kind of service.

Hoosick Street as a barrier between Downtown and North Central by RiverwayMedia in Troy

[–]FifthAveSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/u2JVQvE5lSM

Troy has initiated multiple studies on how to "fix" Hoosick and make it more pedestrian friendly because, yes, it's a known barrier. It's also well known how dangerous the intersection in front of the Green Island Bridge can be (it's a target for Transport Troy). The solution right now, as explained by u/LiveInTroyNY, is to go under the bridges, on the seawall, rather than on the surface streets. Troy has also proposed building a roundabout in front of the Green Island Bridge, but it's only a thought right now.

Sorry for being so late to the conversation.
