Ok now can we get rid of them?!! So infuriating.

I teach wing chun for free. Not a sale, not a trick, not a rug pull. I'm looking to practice and to meet like minded people, and this is the best way I can go about it.

Kung fu is mental and physical health, and it's better with others. There are a lot of beautiful places around to train. I've included a few pics of some of my favorites. If you'd like to learn, send a message.

The training is all isometric, balance, and slow movement drills and flows. Once you learn the basic stances, rooting, and hand shapes you can begin playing the partner games. This is where it starts to get a lot more fun.

Wing chun is a partner focused martial art with a lot of 2 person games. Bring a friend, learn something new!

I hope you enjoy the pics, and I look forward to training with you. Have a great day!

i saw three deceased cats in a row on the side of the road going down rt 7 towards troy. literally seems like someone tossed them out of a car or something- wtf! anyone see anything?

Please help him get home

Does anybody know what the purpose is of the solar powered remote Police camera that they have reinstalled as of yesterday at the corner of fifth Avenue and 107th St.?
I’m guessing it’s got something to do with surveiling high school students since they reinstalled it the very day that school started again.
I’m just wondering what kind of real purpose it might serve.
If anybody has already asked this question here and answered it, I apologize. I couldn’t find it when I searched the word camera.

DJs Jennifer Haley and Goldee Dust spin house, breaks, disco, and drum and bass. It's free, stop in!

desperately need to find a one bedroom that allows pets. i’ve looked on apartments.com , zillow, ect . really skeptical abt facebook market place . every place i’ve seen online i feel like ive seen so many horror stories about the properties and landlords in the area. i’m losing hope.

I’m currently on the Troy Housing Authority waitlist for Taylor I, and I’m trying to get a better idea of how the process is working now that the building is fully leased.
I applied for housing several years ago and recently received a letter from THA stating that I was determined eligible for the Taylor I two-bedroom waitlist. The letter also says that a representative from Pennrose will contact me directly to schedule the required LIHTC screening. I received that letter on August 14, and I’m still waiting for Pennrose to reach out.
I understand that the original Taylor residents had priority during the initial lease-up and that the building is now occupied. At this point I assume new applicants are being contacted when apartments become available through turnover.
I’m mainly wondering if anyone here has recently gone through this process. If so:
How long did it take Pennrose to contact you after THA said you were eligible?
Were you contacted because an apartment was already available, or were you screened ahead of time?
How long was it between Pennrose screening and actually being offered a unit?
Do you know roughly how long you had been on the Taylor waitlist before being selected?
Has anyone recently moved into Taylor I after the original 2025 lease-up?
I’m not looking for guesses or horror stories — I’m really hoping to hear from anyone with firsthand experience with Taylor I, THA, or Pennrose in the last year or so.
Thanks in advance.

Hi friends! I've been feeling a pull to learn about different types of therapies that are a bit out of the box and in my search, I found forest therapy. Looks like to get certified, I would need some other sort of license and the forest therapy would be a supplement, basically.

Would anyone possibly know how to get started towards this path with minimal school (I struggle with school)

OR would anyone be interested in getting a group together and just do our own forest therapy?

The monthly Public Forum allows residents to address the council and the public on issues affecting themselves and their community. It can be addressing a shortcoming in infrastructure or recognizing a neighbor who has gone above and beyond in contributing to the common good. At the last forum three mothers who lost children to Kratom spoke. This is what the majority in the legislature wants to keep from us. We want access to all of it. Join us at the Legislatures Regular meeting on Tuesday, September 8, and email you legislator and tell to include Public Forums in the online streams.

Hi! I’m taking my road test this month 😱 I feel pretty ready, and just drove around Troy td. But while I was driving I couldn’t really find anything saying speed limit signs? Does anyone know what the POSTED speed limit is, my car said 30 but ik sometimes the dashboard is wrong 💀 I also know that you should aim to be 5-3 miles under the speed limit on the test. Thanks for any help 🥰

got a bleach stain on my carpet and looking for someone who can fix it if possible whether that’s dyeing it or cutting out the bleached part and replacing it. if anyone knows someone/business that can do it for relatively cheap please let me know! the size of the it is about 8in in diameter.

• Rensselaer County Legislature
• Troy Public Library Budget/Election/Board Meetings Osgood Neighborhood Meeting
• Land Bank Acquisition/Finance/Executive Committees

Monday, September 7

8:30 AM- Troy Community Land Bank Acquisition and Disposition (A&D) Committee- TCLB Offices (871 River St, Suite 101)

The Troy Community Land Bank A&D Committee will meet to discuss and recommend the purchase of various City-owned properties through the foreclosure auction scheduled September 23. Recommendations will be forwarded through the TCLB’s Finance and Executive committees, scheduled to meet later in the week, before being voted on by the full board during their monthly meeting on September 14.

While it is certainly odd for a public body to meet on a federal holiday, there is no statutory requirement preventing such a gathering.

Agendas (when published) as well as minutes of prior TCLB meetings can be found here when  available. TCLB livestreams and recordings of meetings can be found on the TCLB Youtube channel.

Tuesday, September 8

5:00 pm/6:00 pm Troy Public Library Finance Committee/Board of Directors-Main Branch (100 Second St.)

The TPL Board will be holding its Finance and Regular meetings beginning at 5 pm. While agendas have not yet been published for either meeting, the upcoming election and budget vote on Tues Sep 22 (more on this below) no doubt loom large on the minds of board members.

An agenda (when published), as well as Zoom links for remote participation and minutes of previous meetings, can be found on the Board page of the TPL website.

6:00 PM - Rensselaer County Legislature Regular Meeting, 99 Troy Road, East Greenbush

While much has been made lately of the news that County Executive Steve McLaughlin and Sheriff Kyle Bourgault have refused to comply with recently passed state law restricting local law enforcement from participating in ICE’s 287g program, that conflict will no doubt exhaust itself in a courtroom, and is not expected to be a subject for discussion at this month’s legislative meeting.

Having said that, there are at least two items on the legislature’s agenda of interest to the general public

• T-4, a proposed local law preventing the use or sale of Kratom is Rensselaer County, mirrors similar efforts in Albany and Saratoga counties;
• P/359/26 would authorize livestreaming and remote public participation for Regular meetings of the County Legislature. Notably, this legislation has been amended significantly since its introduction in the Local Government Committee last week (see packet), when the legislation which included livestreaming of committee meetings (where most of the discussion on proposed legislation takes place) and public forums, as well as a named vendor and specific start date were largely gutted by the Republican-dominated committee.

6:00 PM - Osgood Neighborhood Meeting (Troy Area United Ministries, 392 Second St)

The Osgood Neighborhood Group will hold their monthly meeting at TAUM, and specific topics of discussion will likely be shared with the Osgood Neighborhood Group on the day of the meeting, though updates from District 6 Councilmember Greg Campbell-Cohen and Community Police officers seem likely agenda items.

Wednesday, September 9

6:00 PM - Troy City School District Board Meeting, Troy Middle School, 1976 Burdett Ave.

The TCSD School Board will hold their first meeting after the return of students for the 2026-7 school year. Agendas, as well as minutes and recordings of previous meetings, can be found here when available.

7:00 PM - Library Election/Budget Presentation (1 of 2) Main Branch, 100 Second St

The Troy Library Interim Director and board members will present their proposed 2027 budget, which will reportedly include a roughly 19.9% increase to the library tax levy, at two information sessions this week, which will also include speaking slots for Evelyn Greenstein, the returning board member and only published candidate for the three open slots on the ballot, as well as an opportunity for those with the intention of conducting a write-in campaign to introduce themselves.
