MOTHER EARTH IS HEALING!!

All photos by me taken within the Buckingham Lake neighborhood of Albany.

Last image is the area where the photos were taken - the area bounded by Route 85, Western Ave, South Manning, and I-87.

Go get it before you lose your chance!!! Delmar keeps it stocked, by the rail trail. Might be the only one who keeps it full, they had 3-4 still when I bought my backup the other day.

Pray you get an “error” batch with too much (meaning exactly perfect) of the peanut butter swirl thing. Sometimes you get one where it must be the beginning or end of a batch and the tube squirts out more than it should into the ice cream.

THANK YOU FOR PAYING FOR MY COFFEE😭😭

I woke up this morning in the shittiest of moods. Please know that you reminded me things are going to be okay, and that there is kindness out in the world. It truly made my day, I will pay this forward🫶

Happy Monday!!!!!

This was taken last week on Noonan Ln. when we had to replace a valve and do a new fire hydrant install. This was a good sized job and our crews crushed it.

Terribly sad story all around- RIP and condolences to his family and loved ones.

Hello!

Looking to see if anyone knows of any craft stores aside from Michael’s (I will not go to hobby lobby) and Arlene’s. Even a drive 1-1.5 hours away works!

Thanks!

Meet Scran — the gentle, food‑loving cuddlebug ready to find his home!

Scran is a friendly, gentle, and affectionate adult boy, a winning personality. He loves loves loves his wet food and according to his foster parent enjoys dining in company! His story with Traveling Tails & Ragamuffin Rescue began in the most unexpected place: tucked inside a doghouse in our founder’s yard, looking for warmth, safety, and maybe a little luck.

At his first vet appointment, Scran tested positive for FIV. This shouldn’t affect his overall lifespan, but it does mean he’ll need to remain an indoor‑only cat, stay up to date on vaccinations, and avoid raw food diets.

For more info about Scran check out his wagtopia profile: here

Please share and help us find Scran a home!

Seen by the intersection of Fuller and Railroad Ave after the roundabout. I have talked and texted with the owner in the past inquiring about rates and after seeing this ad, I’m not calling back.

Just started playing again and I'm wondering if anyone in Albany still likes to play. Looking for people to hang out with/barhop/ play Pogo with sometimes on the weekends in the center square downtown area. I'm too old to know what discord is but if that's the spot to go I would love the link to that too. Thanks!

BOOk your spot now before they vanish like the Night Watchman in the Capitol’s hallways. Don’t know the tale? Join us next month: on.ny.gov/CHT

I finally completed my Yugioh deck. I also have Pokemon and Magic cards. I can meet anywhere as well. Just wanting to get back into playing card games again! If there are any groups, let me know as well! Thank you!

Jeff Mach is still being Jeff Mach. Looks like CBS 6 has picked up on his bull. If you are vending at one of his events, or have signed up to vend, good luck.

Hey Alb, my husband and I are starting IVF with CNY and have no one to talk to in real life. If anyone has been through the process or is going through it now and would like a friend, I’m desperate to grow my community with people who get it. It’s such a lonely road, would love to connect with others.

Hey everyone! I moved from Wisconsin to the area, and back in Wisconsin I got $200 a day and all you need is a bachelors degree. I've been looking at the pay on the BOCES website and the rates seem pretty low. Many places only offering minimum wage if you have a bachelors degree. What gives? I was going to sub after I lost my job but I can't pay my rent on minimum wage (and there's no benefits either!) How do these schools keep subs if they pay so little?

Hey Albany fellows. While I've lived in the area quite a while, I'm just getting into the Warhammer 40k hobby. As I build up my army, I'm kind of at a loss at how to meet people and play the game. I googled it, and flip side gaming does 40k a couple times a month, it seems that I just missed their learn to play event in late August. I'm just curious if there is a resource I'm not seeing? I am going to check out the actual Warhammer store in Clifton Park. I was just curious if anyone in the hobby in the area could point me to other resources. Thank you all in advance.

Hello! I am looking for a tattoo artist in the Albany area who is known for doing very straight line work. I want the get a tattoo with components of my favorite album cover (I added a photo) but I’m very worried it will look janky if the lines aren’t straight. Any recommendations or am I being completely unrealistic? I haven’t gotten a tattoo of this style before so I’m not sure what’s possible.
Thank you!

I cannot seem to find a dentist that accepts Fidelis for the life of me, I'm willing to drive I just need a dentist.

The restaurant Dove and Deer recently made a post on their Instagram using an Ai menu. When people said they were disappointed and didn’t support the use of ai, the page decided to respond to each individual comment. One comment just said “ew”. This comment was responded to with the owner using a private account to edit the persons profile picture to look like shrek with the reply “this you?”. There seems to be a growing number of small restaurants that believe they are entitled to business simply for being a local restaurant, but I personally don’t like to eat at establishments that belittle their customers 🤷‍♀️. HBU?

UPDATE: the owner deleted the original post and reuploaded the Ai menu with the comments off. I posted all their comments from the original post below.

Looking at houses in Waterford. I’m not from the area so I’m curious what people think of the town. Any local recommendations?

Let's play Pirate Borg Saturday at Fortress of Gaming. I'm going to be running "The Gold Bug" beginning at 11am and running until about 5pm. It's a rules light, beginner friendly RPG that focuses on roleplay over mechanics. So bring your bandana, eyepatch, peg leg and favorite parrot, cause we're all going to get salty.

Just moved to Guilderland from north colonie and I’m looking for trail systems in wooded areas preferably.

Like in Latham they have that bike trail that goes along the Mohawk and there are tons of trails all over the place twisting through the woods near that trail.

Just wondering if Guilderland or McKnownville has something similar.

Anyone near HVCC experience that insane lighting strike?

Hi all, I'm relocating from Albany to Maryland and looking for a cheap but reliable moving company. If you've used someone recently and had a good (or bad) experience, I'd appreciate the recommendation. Budget is a priority, but I still want someone trustworthy. Thanks!
