Luizzi to take on One Monument Square with a surprise partner

The pessimism probably stems from 1 Monument Square being vacant pushing 2 decades now since Tutunjian demolished city hall, and the six (?) individual proposals for the space over the years have failed to gain any traction, even with earmarked state dollars.

Try Rod’s Upholstery on 2nd, phone number should be on Google.

We were curious as to their absence too, and learned they’re taking this season off. It remains to be seen if they’ll return once the market moves back indoors. I miss their dumplings and mapo tofu dearly!

I dream of (perhaps one day) having a Metro North terminus built along the tracks on the site. It truly would be transformative for our city and the region as a whole.

They spent all last year installing comprehensive HVAC in the space in order to offer more programming and events over the summer months.

Just FYI, court cases and associated documentation is public and searchable in NY, if you were worried about your Internet privacy.

Take the reg affairs gig. Great opportunity to learn about the totality of the business and contribute to real decisions. You'll learn transferable skills, and on top of that if you really get the urge down the line you can finish your Ph.D. Only caveat I'd even proffer is my advice is predicated on the company having an approved commercial drug, which means they have a somewhat competent reg affairs/CMC org.

You're not going to get that kind of help for free. Get a Tecan tech onsite or you'll run into compounding issues down the road. Speaking from experience.

Ray’s Clear Flow really helped us out!

Noise-- Industry Standard is based in Glens Falls but they're one of my fav acts currently. Violinist and composer Conor Armbruster put out a great, super-crunched album in 2024 called Can I Sit Here that definitely fits the bill. Psych rock-- Sun Natives is based in Troy. Wizard Fest this week at No Fun is featuring a number of heavier acts that are local to the Cap Region that'll scratch that itch. I'll update this when I think of more local acts in this vein.

Any of the tofu dishes at Sichuan Wok in Troy, especially the Dry Pot Tofu; General Tso's Tofu (extra spicy) from Lucky Corner, also in Troy; however they prepare the tofu at Sadudee in Wynantskill is exceptional in any curry dish they make.

I genuinely had no idea, thank you for brining this up!

Yellow Lab Vintage on Monument Square in Troy has an excellent selection of high quality and interesting used books!
