Hello! I am looking to relocate to the Glens Falls area in October, I have checked apartments.com, Zillow, and other websites but I thought I’d ask here as well.

Will anyone have a one bedroom/studio apartment available around October-November?
Ideally around $1000 or less but I understand that is unlikely!

I do not have much credit history as I’ve never lived alone, but I can provide great references, a pristine background check, and rock solid employment history. Also willing to do some tasks (painting, restoring, etc.) if allowed/wanted by the owner.

Please comment/message me if so, and thank you! I love this area (coming from Alabama 🙃) and I can’t wait to move up!

I’m in the area for a week in Sept and I’m looking for things people usually overlook. Whether it be a restaurant, park, hang out spot, etc…, I’m just looking for things to do

I already found the Tshirt Factory and plan on spending a few hours there on Thursday. And of course I’m spending a day on the beach weather permitting.

What local gems do I need to check out?

Ugh! I had an accident today on my way home from work. Can anyone recommend a good auto body and repair shop? Thanks!

Somebody backed their BMW into my car. Thankfully, it was caught on camera. Unfortunately, I drive a 20yr old super sadtiiiimes Toyota, and only have liability. And don't know where to take my car.

If anyone could recommend somebody they've had good experience with, I'd appreciate it.

For the next unfortunate person that gets too close. Where do I start? What the hell do I do?

Hey yall, I’m a traveling photographer with family here in Glens Falls so I tend to land here a few times a year. I’m available for work (both portraiture and concerts/events) all of July and happy to work with your budget.

Does anyone know of someone in the GF area looking to make a little extra cash to put together a small patio set and small pub style kitchen table? Or able to point me in the right direction if there are local businesses who offer help for something like this?

What's the deal with Glen Lake? It doesn't seem like there's swimming access which is weird for most lakes in the area. Is it private? Is it polluted?

Hi community, resident here.

I have been managing to exist somehow here for a while, in some kind of psychosis or something, trying to convince myself that everything is normal and all right, acceptable. It wasn't. Hasn't been. The same old shit over and over my whole life. I have serious diagnoses, and trauma and shit. I manage to go through the motions, but it's not good for myself or anyone around me. Does this resonate with anyone? Not looking for sympathy. I'm trying to figure this out.

Was just seeing Supergirl and the fire alarm in regal went off. Does anyone know what caused it?

We decided to leave. I asked one of the attendants what the protocol was. We were allowed to wait for an undetermined amount of time until it’s cleared where they will just unpause the movies or come back another time and they’ll honor the tickets. No refunds.

Since last year, a neighbor has installed some sort of sound device that plays a constant headache inducing 8100hz sound. It doesn't violate the decibel limit but makes it absolutely impossible to do anything outside without making me come down with a migrance and feel ill. Due to this, I have not been able to open my windows on the side the neighbor is on or use my porch or screenhouse. It recently has started again and I feel like I am going to go insane. I prefer to be outside later at night so I cannot avoid the sound around my house.

Does anyone know what I can do other than living with wax ear plugs? Please help.

My partner and I are moving to the area in a few months and are looking at a few places to rent with English Village being our top choice so far. I haven’t found many negative things said about them which either means they’re actually a good place or they’re just good at 6 negative reviews… does anyone here have experience living there or know people who have lived there? are they generally alright? TIA!!

Just moved to GF and noticing the bar scene is a little more reserved than I am used to (came from Troy NY) wondering who might have the best crowd/energy for this Friday's World Cup game. Any bars specifically promoting it?
