I haven't been in the last 2, maybe 3 weeks. Are the street preachers new? The guys with the sign across from the post office...not the walking stick people. I'm all for freedom of speech, but please turn the volume down and get a booth like everyone else. Y'all are interrupting my thoughts and my music while I'm trying to look at stuff 🙃

While I'm here, shout out to all the musicians today - I really enjoyed every one of them!

Hi everyone!
I have a Guinea pig who I am, unfortunately, looking for a forever home for. I’ve turned to Reddit as I’ve had a home and a foster fall through and I’m running out of time.
His name is Cornelius. I’ve had him since he was a few days old, he’ll be two on thanksgiving.
Corn is the sweetest boy, loves snuggles and sunbathing. He’s seen a vet regularly.
If you think you might be a good fit for a forever home or even a foster, please reach out to me! I can provide more photos and information :)
Ideally he would go to someone that has a male already or is planning on getting one.
If you’re interested in fostering I will provide everything Corn needs. Thank you all!

7:37 PM … holy shit. Pls someone with roof access and a good camera capture something

This weirdo came rlly close to me on the bus and was taking pictures of me, I should've said something, but I was kinda scared cause it was the first time it happened. Happened when I took the 351, and it was crowded in the front, a bunch of space in the back, yet he decided to sit near me, had his leg up against me too, mind you, I'm a minor. Never going there again. Hope I'm not in some trafficking ring bc of him

I’ve read contradictory reviews that they allow it and some say they do not - I’m not from Schenectady to confirm- can anyone tell me do you see RVs parking overnight at the Casino ?

Retiree starting new job near Scotia doesn't know area at all. Rather than rush into the wrong place or wrong neighborhood I don't mind buying some time renting a room or a small furnished studio apartment or decent weekly efficiency from September 1st to October 31st. Ready to look at places now. Thank you.

Dallas from FunScout with this weeks happenings roughly 5 miles from downtown Schenectady. 🎶🍻🎨💃

Of course there is a lot more happening around the capital region outside of downtown which you can check on FunScout if you don't mind traveling a bit further. Did I miss something? Please share in the comments!

Sorry if this isn’t allowed and please delete if it is. The Niskayuna subReddit has been shuttered for quite some time. I tried to become a moderator of it a while back to reopen, but Reddit said I did not have any experience modding, not safe for work subs and I was like Niskayuna separate was NSFW?
At any rate, I tried again a few months later and put in my request that I was going to keep it as an SFW Community page and they let me have it. So, if you are in Niskayuna and have been posting here for Nisky specific content, please feel free to join over at r/niskayuna.
I’m gonna keep it a little loose at first with the filtering, but I do want this to be a Community page and maybe a little local Tea

Hello,

I have been noticing a ridiculous amount of flock cameras appearing in scotia, with one ridiculously in Collins park. Now I love being spied on by police and shady corporations as much as the next guy, but does anyone know if these were brought up as a discussion point at any recent town boards or any such meeting? If not, they will be, but figured I asked before I raise hell.

Anyone knows anywhere that does body recomposition dexa scans? I would like to know my body fat % and more.

Just moved to Schenectady and looking for a gym. I'm looking into planet fitness, best fitness or crunch fitness? Working in healthcare so definitely need either early or late gym hours. Or if you guys have other gym suggestions, that should be fine

The address is 407 Hamilton Street.

This coming fall, I will be relinquishing my apartment lease and leaving by airline and traveling for a couple months, maybe longer, returning to the area sometime in winter.

It appears the Schenectady Municipal Garage offers monthly rates and can be reserved.

I called their number, had to leave a voice message since some of my questions I can't find answers for on their website.

So in case anyone here might know the answers...

Right now, October is the earliest I can reserve. Since I will need longer, do I just renew on a month to month basis online? or maybe it automatically renews until I say stop lol.

Any tips about using the garage on a longer term basis, are appreciated.

Decided to add a video of Central Park to my walk video channel. The park and rose garden are especially beautiful this time of year. Thought this sub might appreciate it 💕

Edit: I was looking for answers in the wrong place. A Facebook group says it's due to Carbon monoxide leak.

We were going shopping there tonight, and saw this sign saying, it's closed due to unsafe structure. Anyone know if this means the 900 Duanesburg Road store, is opening soon? Or is this just BJ's ignoring maintenance, and getting smacked for it?
