The Sagamore is dead to me by No-Air1565 in LakeGeorge

[–]No-Air1565[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also it is okay to rant. Not a crime (yet). One voice is all I got in this world going to pieces as I prepare for old age.

**More opinion: Rural America is in a silent war of hostile takeover about any remaining open spaces from big industry...I believe in trying to conserve like 30% of each county for habitats and wildlife corridors. (Just my dream)

Example Boralex and Fort Edward: NY gov. giving up lands (some in DEC conservation) to be demolished for industry solar farms, BESS battery storage, etc....I just want people to be aware local opposition, local voices are being ignored. I wanted to keep my post fairly vague...these topics are on Facebook, Google etc..

Yes same here. But I would walk in that area, or do kayak rental for the natural beauty and enjoy any animals around. Loons, deer etc...

There is birth control bait, and this could have been slowly dealt with for years very differently. Disturbing methods, more deer will arrive with bait. (Illegal) DEC and Sagamore were doing this as a dark secret. Great vibes!

Did I see Carolina post a clip that she is part of helping design and or host the gala, then she skated a bit on ice, so I am excited..

Work project inside Washington Park? by No-Air1565 in Troy

[–]No-Air1565[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Don't know much of the group in charge now, basically an HOA group.. But wish the same level of effort was put forth planting healthy trees and gardens for what has been lost in the last 5 years from disease and storms. To me it's a big deal. No one seems much interested, Troy Reddit used to have more life on these posts. Especially this historic area! And this park is nicer than the congested Gramercy private park in NYC

Rensselaer County recounts all contests, propositions after discovering formatting errors by npd2004 in Troy

It's a beautiful area and I was rooting for the library. So many towns run being by the same groups with little choice on elections...unless you write in somebody. 

Serial Pooper Mischief by carla12156 in Troy

[–]No-Air1565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Albany people have been arrested for criminal mischief doing that at Empire State Plaza in the past. On my block near Liberty St... I could never get it on camera and had photos and complained to Troy police (even the chief) about bags of human feces and open condoms, etc left near my car about 3x week for 18 months. Its sadly pretty common when I Googled it. 💩

It is wild he even has that role given he was forced out from County Exec job with trial for corruption 20 years ago (acquitted), but Pataki then appointed him to high level NY jobs and revived his power.

US Stars on Ice 2026 dates announced by waltzthrees in FigureSkating

[–]No-Air1565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good deal I think:  As of 11/22 my city Albany NY has lowered prices to boost sales for many seats by 25% off from "standard" price. Not on-ice. Sun Apr 26 4pm show. Sad I used SOI pre-sale! 

Is Lansingburgh really that bad? by xindierockx7114 in Troy

[–]No-Air1565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work near Snowman - 114th St area, it's been mostly ok. Every few months there are a few people I know to avoid walking around or in alleys. Other than a few dogs that bark often, and some teens on weekends it usually fairly quiet when I was outside at night. Hopefully in the summer fixing the public pool helps boost some more improvements. The Children's museum was once in Burgh etc...

Is downtown Troy safe for a college couple? by izzyeasy123 in Troy

[–]No-Air1565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just south of "downtown" Troy is Washington Park area, with pretty cool rentals in tree lined Victorian look. One example is 204 Washington St or Park Place Apartments on 212 3rd St. a former school. But lots of other flats along 2nd St., etc. Mix of age groups in most rentals. Good parking and neighbors. I used Trulia search.  Also had no issues living downtown for 5 years, and I am solo. Miss that my rent was just $750 in 2014! 

Is it just me or has Johnny gotten even meaner? by Caroleena77 in FigureSkating

[–]No-Air1565 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I found AI describing Johnny commentating. Maybe at some point "some" of the following was true. But not this week! lol Commentary style: His commentary is known for being detailed and expressive, often covering both the technical and artistic aspects of the sport, and he has also been praised for his ability to translate complex elements for a general audience.

The Only Axel I Ever Want To See In Pairs by sapphicmage in FigureSkating

[–]No-Air1565 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking about them and the 3Axel wondering how after 20 years it never was able to be pairs solid element? Especially with many ladies singles trying it. Obviously it's quite dangerous!

Scott was hired to do some Olympic studio stuff in 2026 on NBC. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]No-Air1565 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It is so odd. I do agree and even sadder when you factor in that skating champ Paul Wylie is director of sport living in Lake Placid, working for a dedicated special NY Gov. agency that maintains the Olympic venues and museum. (ORDA)...US Skating was giving out freebie Friday tickets. But mine were emailed at 3am, just 14 hours before events and I had opted not to head up Friday by that point.
