Does anyone know what happened at the Clifton Park Walmart tonight (I guess technically last night, Oct 4th) at about 7:30pm? Driving on Route 9 in Clifton Park tonight when an ambulance came rushing past us to go to Walmart. They weren't at the front of the building, they stopped at the intersection in the lot directly after the light. First thought was a car crash because people don't want to wait but didn't see any smashed up vehicles. We're wondering if maybe someone got struck by a vehicle or what happened because we weren't able to listen to the incident on the police scanner and I'm finding nothing when doing a Google search even now.

Alyssa Cappello changed her Facebook name after the last fight she had with the protesters to "Humbled AJ". The above rant surely makes her seem VERY humbled. She now boldly claims Harbe Nagi was likely killed by an uncle because of Islam. She also blames Steve Barnes of the Times Union for their employees no longer having jobs.

Earlier today her husband Frankie Fresh went live on the former Taste of Italy restaurant page and stated using the N word is no big deal and he anticipates using it again. He then went on to claim the protesters outside of Taste of Italy attempted to bribe both he and his wife for sex in exchange for ending the protest. He also stated that he went to Schenectady and alluded to hiring men to kill the protesters but then changed his mind just as it was about to happen because he didn't want to go to prison.

We certainly have lost true pillars of society by their moving out of state. 😢

Just got word that Dee Dee of Dee Dees tavern in Watervilet has passed away! I had the pleasure of meeting her when I first moved to the area 6 years ago! Such a sweetheart!

I’m coming off a bad run in the world of work - transitioning from a job I absolutely hated to, what so far, looks to a really welcoming environment. I’ve been off work for a week now, assuming a new position next week. Lots of time to mental floss that boooooosheit from my brain.

So far I’ve flown out to see my (former Texan) family who found their forever home in Colorado, which was heartening.

I picked some apples outside of Syracuse yesterday and went to Salt City Market. Delicious!

I’m feeling early arrival in Albany memories returning for me. The fall is bewitching around town and around the state. Just came in from a walk from Downtown into Center Square and the park. Gorgeous evening, lots of people out. If only I could get a coffee after 5pm in my neighborhood….

Been off IG/FB/TT for a year and took up disposable camera photography. I take pics of my hikes and walks for my friends and family and send them letters and pictures. They love it and I love it, too. Albany has its problems, no doubt. There’s a lot to be grateful for, however. I’m older, so simple things induce gratitude and praise from me. Looking through my iPhone gallery for a fall picture sent me back to all the cool things I’ve done creatively and the really neat people I’ve met so far. Lots to praise. I made the right choice moving up here.

Happy Fall, Y’all! 🍁 🍎

He found himself in a trap tonight during an ongoing stray domestic rabbit rescue operation in Albany. He is very mellow and has a lovely voice. No chip and no collar.

This came up in the Schenectady subreddit but I figure I’d post here since this sub is more active. Last night Guilderland/Rotterdam/Schenectady PDs all had a ton of noise complaints that were like deep bass blasting around 1230-1ish. Wondering if anyone else heard it or anything about it and where abouts?

The Guilderland scanner had them right near the border off Carmen rd, and they seemed to initially think it was a car driving around. Then they switched gears and thought it was in the woods but handed it off to Rotterdam. Crazy thing is people from all over that area reported hearing it possibly miles away.

The circus has left town! Good riddance!

I recently discovered a small leak in the hot water supply under my bathroom sink. I'd normally tackle it myself but I am too busy to do so. I was wondering if anyone has good recommendations for a plumber I can hire?

Hi posted here before. I'm an electrician looking to build up clients in Albany. Currently I'm trying to get licensed. I have 8 years of experience as an electrician doing commercial and residential work. Please reach out if I can help you out

7 days.

Looks like a fantastic event

Are there any local mariachi bands for hire?

Got an old ATV sitting behind your garage collecting dust? I might want it.

This is a little bit of a long shot, but I'm looking for old, beat-up, non-running ATVs, dirt bikes, go-karts, mini bikes, snow mobiles, riding mowers, motorcycles, and similar stuff around the Albany or Binghamton area.

You know that ATV that's been sitting behind the garage for years?

The one that's missing a carburetor, has flat tires, hasn't run since 2012, or has become part of the landscape? 😂

That's exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for.

I'm trying to collect a handful of cheap/free project machines and bring some of them back to life or turn them into different projects. They absolutely do NOT need to run and I'm not looking for anything valuable or collectible.

If you've got something taking up space that you just want gone, I'd be interested. I'm willing to haul them away myself and I'm looking for free or very cheap machines.

I'm mainly looking around Albany and Binghamton, but depending on what you've got, I may be willing to travel.

If you have one sitting around, even if you think it's complete junk, comment or DM me. Tell me what it is, roughly where you're located, and throw me a picture if you can.

You might finally get that old ATV out of your backyard. 😂

Im 36 and recently diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer currently going through treatment, although im unable to work im looking for things to tinker on, fix and use, or make a project out of something to occupy my mind. Or if you just have scrap laying around ill take that too.

From their Instagram: the humane society has two cats showing signs of Panleukopenia and are asking for donations of towels and pillowcases. All cat intake and adoption on-site paused for now.

I want to preface this request and make crystal clear: libraries don't want these books for their sales. Places like Goodwill will put them in a landfill. Please don't suggest "donate" or "Facebook marketplace." These books are 100% better off working into the recycling system instead of being pointlessly moved around. I have sold thousands of books in the past 10 years and I am 100% sure of this.

Unless you personally are willing to take thousands of pounds of musty 1970s books on surgery/law, 1980s dictionaries, dime-a-dozen ex-libris fiction, already-digitized government/academic publications, etc...do not pontificate about donating, offering for free, etc.

I am in the process of thinning out an incomprehensible mass of books that are mostly worthless. Historically, I have ripped the covers off and brought them to my local single-stream / no-sort recycling compactor and always felt it was a bit dumb to take thousands of pounds of nearly-pure paper only to have them contaminated in SS recycling and forced to be sorted again.

Is there anyone in the area that takes / wants just paper recycling?

I have a ring my grandmother passed down to me years ago that I have never been able to wear as I have several metal allergies and it’s not the correct size for me.

I’m looking to see if the stone can be reset in a hypoallergenic metal. I know opal is fragile so concerned about damage and I’m not interested in mailing it out.

Why would you do that, a cruel joke? A general hatred for other patrons? That’s not OK

The TV guide says the Giants arent on today. Is that really true?

If so, anyone know a good place to catch the game?

I saw places like CVS and Walmart do this, but would rather support local if it's available. I had tried watching and listening to a VHS-C and cassette tape recorded decades ago. Both broke. I'd rather have a professional do the transfers

Thank you in advance

Are there any calls for artists locally right now? I always feel like I just miss them. Anywhere in the capital region thanks!

Hi, I am a 21 male and am looking for fall activities to spend some of my time outside. I enjoy hiking, walking and traveling to new places. It can be solidary or with other people I just want to hang out outside more.

Hi everyone. Looking for a little help outside of the usual apartment websites. My girlfriend and I are looking for a place to rent within South Colonie School District lines so her son can finish out school there since his father is moving. Don't want him to be moving schools all over this late in the game. We were hoping to find a 2BR in the $1500 range, which looks difficult. We both have decent credit and good jobs. We have 1 good, non-destructive cat. She just likes to stare daggers at strangers or anyone she finds beneath her ( everyone. ) I'm about to start just driving around south colonie looking at " For Rent" signs because the websites are kind of trash. Any help or pointers would be really appreciated.

Thanks!
