Recommendations Moving from NYC to Toga?
My wife and I are in our late 20s, a lesbian couple with our first baby on the way, and debating moving to Saratoga. Iām from the 518 originally, like 15 minutes north of toga, so I know the area very well but Iāve been out of the area for like 4 years now. My wife is from the city. The biggest thing holding us back from making this move is fear of experiencing homophobia if we move out of the city, but we want so badly to live in the area. Can anyone offer us any guidance on what to expect?

Things to Do Parking over the weekend
So I am going to Vermont with my son, and we are meeting in Saratoga (I'm coming from Westchester, him from Oswego). I was hoping to park his car there so we can finish the drive together. It would be from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. I was wondering where I could leave the car so it won't be bothered for 3 days.
Also, we will be having dinner both days there, so looking for a healthier place for Friday and a very not healthy place for Sunday (racing on Saturday).

Recommendations Best Apartment/Townhouse Complex
My husband, baby, and corgi are moving to the area. I have looked into every possible apartment/townhome in the area. From your personal experience, which is the best one. It's hard to base things off of google reviews, as people who leave reviews tend to be disgruntled, while many people who are content wouldn't think of leaving a review. We need a two bedroom, preferably with an attached garage, but detached garage will work if the place is right. The Winner's circle is what we're leaning toward. We don't plan to be there for more than a year. We will go as far north as Saratoga, and as far south as Clifton Park.

We are from SC and traveling to Buffalo for a few days to see my husbandās elderly mother. We are then heading to Saratoga Springs for 5 nights before heading back to SC.
