All photos taken by me within the town of East Greenbush, NY.

Last image shows the location of the town within Rensselaer County and New York State.

Well My husband and I have lived in Albany for three weeks now and today he got propositioned by a prostitute while grabbing stuff from our car! A warm albany welcome :)

“Four at Forty-Five Degrees,” part of the Empire State Plaza Art Collection and currently on loan to the New York State Museum, shows how Calder used open, airy forms to shape space rather than fill it. 

In the 1960s, Calder started working with massive steel sheets, creating large-scale works that felt both architectural and playful. His “Triangles and Arches” #AtThePlaza is a perfect example — its bold shapes echo the nearby Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, blending art and environment in a way only Calder could. 

Today, we celebrate his legacy and the joy, movement, and imagination his work inspires. Look up, stay grounded, and let creativity move you. 💫

I bought a pack of Thomas' Corn Toasters the other day and holy hell were those things disappointing. Small, flat, just all around an incredible letdown, nothing even close to the lucious goodness that Freihofer's Corn Toasties used to bring. Does anyone know if any local or regional bakeries or whatnot might have picked up the slack? Probably not, I'd have probably heard something about it or been able to find something in a search, but hey always worth asking.

Anyone know when this is supposed to open? It’s been like this for awhile now

I don't usually support telling people when there is a checkpoint. But the rensselaer cops and state police have a checkpoint set up at the end of the bridge as you get to rensselaer. Thought it was weird for a Wednesday night, but then i realized its because tonight at the plaza is Ghostface Killah... watch out for this racist operation

Since it is summer, let's go back in time and raise our glasses to this iconic commercial and best jingle

Is there some history that would be worth learning about?

Went to the boil shack for the first time tonight and was surprised to see this thing wheeling around. It felt very dystopian lmao. I get that it’s helpful for the servers but it’s just so weird…..

Saw this very recently posted on NextDoor without any evidence or links. Anyone know if this is actually a thing?

I get pretty bored over the weekends and could use a job to give me some structure and get me out of bed early.

I could also use the extra money to save.

I was thinking construction, restaurant work, or anything really!

Next Wednesday, July 29th!

Back in the before times I was going to poetry open mics. I've recently wanted to get back into it, but the Albany Poets website seems deserted and I'm not on Facebook or Instagram.

Does anyone know of the upcoming schedule or any open mics?

helloooo i have a bunch of xbox 360 games and a console id like to sell, so was wondering what store in the area would give me the best deal? shroomy’s? Jay St? Pastime legends?

I’m looking for recommendations in the Capital Region based on personal experiences for the best elementary schools, districts, and programs for autistic kids with special needs. I’m not happy with our current district and I’m looking to move our son asap.
Thank you for your help and input!

I saw this post on fb marketplace, and am wondering if there’s any way I can help. I am not familiar with anyone but Mohawk Hudson?
I just want to help

Just trying to find out if one ER is preferable to another or they are all the same.

It seems to be the best experiences are reported at Samaritan on Northern Blvd, the worst at Ellis.

What say you?

I’m seeing someone who has celiac and I want to take them out to dinner somewhere but not really sure what the gluten free spots are in the capital region

Hi! I have never been to Albany, and I will be traveling roughly 3-4 hours for a medical appointment. I’m looking for any neat things to check out while I’m there for the day.
Any thrift stores, alt shops, cafes, odd shops are appreciated !

Best private car services or drivers in Albany area? For traveling around within 1-2 hours, including leisure activities (state parks, sightseeing). Don't need a fancy vehicle, just safe and relatively affordable. I saw the app dryver and some nationwide services, but wonder if there is a local business.
