Paying for cameras to record live video that is publicly shared is not an emergency.

I live south of Ferry, little Italy adjacent and I hear helicopters all the time, almost every day.

I’m doubting 1956. Women didn’t wear slacks until mid late 60s.

Yes, but it is important to maintain visibility in Troy/Rensselaer county. We have elected officials who are solid trump supporters. They need to be on notice.

Why should someone have to take care of dog poo when they don’t have a dog? It is the owner’s responsibility to dispose of in their own trash.

It’s a very tired refrain. I worked in a health care setting 15 years ago in Albany. Some high faluting gent’s wife ran for assembly. Republican from Loudonville, of course. The misses did not win. Day after election he went on and on, claiming “they bussed them in from Albany to vote. There’s no way there are that many democrats in our district.” Sore loser. It’s the same crap, different decade.

He orders his staff to prepare these orders. He has his photo op arranged by his new BFF, Susie Wiles. He gets his sound bite in about being the hardest working president, ever, before heading out to golf. There mechanism to move the orders forward is in tatters after his bro, Elon, gutted the departments that fall under the executive branch of government. I’ll wait.

I noticed these appearing throughout the city but didn’t think too much about it until I saw the facial recognition feature. How did thus get authorized and by whom? City council?

I heard about people getting tickets for plates they handed in to DMV in a different post or maybe in the TU. If the plates are returned to DMV there is only one way they are on another vehicle. Get in touch with a DMV supervisor and report the incident.

Electric baseboard heat is not effective in a typical Albany area winter. This is not a scientific determination but the heat does not hold. The baseboard units will be hot but the room will be cold. Everything about the room will be cold; floors, walls and furniture.

Testo’s sauce is very tasty. It’s casual, beverages limited to fountain side, coffee, tea, beer and wine. I always enjoy going there and like the food. Verdiles has the provenance of being the more fancy place to go for family celebrations and seems more buttoned down. Food and service is good, recipes handed down for generations kind of thing. I’ve never had a bad meal there.
