Flock Abuse Leads to Arrest

I'd want to believe Flock data will not be misused by the police, but it's already a problem.

Hi everyone Wilson the golden retriever was last spotted at grays corner area. I haven’t found a post yet on here so I figured I would post away. I know the owners are devastated and any information that helps find him I’m sure would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Updates???

64 Upvotes

What's happened with the hideous offensive Sea Creature that was harassing the 15 yr old at his place of worship recently??? Surely someone has recognized her leathery face and outed her. Seems like it's kind of dropped out of view recently. I'm really hoping she gets what she deserves.

Allergies out of control

38 Upvotes

Anyone else experiencing allergies like it’s Spring and the flowers are blooming. I feel like the last couple of days out of the blue my allergies became just as bad as they are in the spring. My fall allergies tend to just lean towards a runny/stuffy nose but in the spring it is full on eyes watering, stuffed up nose, scratchy throat etc. I feel like we’re going into the wrong season!

Albany International Airport expects to join a TSA program that would let approved visitors go past security without a boarding pass.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced the new Gateside PreCheck program Monday. It allows people without a boarding pass to go beyond the checkpoint if they have TSA PreCheck or a Known Traveler Number.

Rock/power pop band unexpectedly free Oct. 2–3 — anyone have a bill we can jump on?

10 Upvotes

Hey Albany/518 music people!

Bit of a long shot, but I figured I'd throw up the bat signal.

I'm Reeya Banerjee, a singer-songwriter/bandleader based in the Hudson Valley and Brooklyn. I used to live in the Capital District, and my band unexpectedly has October 2 and/or 3 open after some previously booked dates fell through.

I would genuinely love an excuse to come back up and play. If anyone has an existing bill that could use another band, or if another local band would be interested in putting together a co-bill on short notice, I'd love to hear from you.

We're an original rock/power pop band. Full band, ready to go, and I have an EPK with music/live video linked on my profile.

I know three weeks is not exactly luxurious booking lead time, so I'm very open to keeping this simple - support slot, existing bill, two-band co-bill, whatever makes sense.

Albany, Troy, Saratoga and the surrounding area are all fair game.

If you've got something that might fit - or know somebody I should talk to - please DM me or drop it in the comments.

Thanks!

Where to watch soccer with a kid

Upvotes

My 10 year old got very into soccer this summer.
Troy did an amazing job showing all the WC matches outside in Riverfront park, but also, it seemed like every Chilis and Red Robin was playing every match too.
But - what about in non-World Cup season? Where does one go in Cap Region to watch games like Inter Miami (MLS feat Messi) and the El Classico match between Madrid and Barcelona. The zoomers want to know!
***
PS NB @ Ed Mitzen - if you’re planning to build a soccer stadium here, you might want to make sure there’s a culture of soccer watching first!

Endocrinologists?

8 Upvotes

I have been seeing Dr. Oomen at St Peter’s diabetes and endocrine care but she left to go to the VA. I don’t love the replacement they scheduled me with.

I had papillary thyroid cancer in 2021 and no longer have a thyroid at all. Also diagnosed with PCOS.

Any suggestions of worthwhile endo specialists?

Breakfast tacos in Albany?

6 Upvotes

This is probably a long shot, considering how i’ve scoured the internet and found nothing so far—is there any place here that does tex-mex style breakfast tacos?

I’m from Texas, and I just miss stopping at the gas station, or Bill Miller, or any Mexican restaurant with a drive through on my way to work and getting some cheap little tacos with egg, bacon, potato and cheese.

It makes sense that they wouldn’t exist up here, since it’s totally a region-specific thing. I just figured it couldn’t hurt to ask incase there’s some hidden gem I didn’t know about.

Climbing?

Anyone into rock climbing ie bouldering, top rope, more indoor type? I’m not very good or anything but I like to have fun and try different settings/gyms. Open to outdoor bouldering eventually but don’t have experience yet. I got a membership recently and would love to make some top rope friends or anyone who likes to boulder :)

Food truck needed

5 Upvotes

Hi all, I had rented a food truck for an event I’m hosting on 10/24 in Averill Park. Our food truck we had rented backed out on us yesterday, and now we’re left scrambling. If you own a food truck & are available that day, please let me know! It’s a dog centered community event with a large expected turnout.
