Welcome to /r/Plattsburgh!

17 Upvotes

I’ve been working hard over the past few months to gain control of this subreddit. Until now, the sub has been dead. Thanks to /u/Clearwater, progress is finally underway!

Starting today, /r/Plattsburgh will be refreshed and renewed.

Some immediate changes include:

  • The sub is no longer focused on SUNY Plattsburgh, instead it is for Plattsburgh as a whole.
  • Flair will be used to sort posts into categories. Currently, there is flair for “SUNY Plattsburgh.” If the need presents itself, more flair will be added in the future.
  • The sub will be open to suggestions! If you can think of any way to improve the subreddit, please comment below!
  • Fresh new CSS! I have revamped the CSS to look more modern. There are still many improvements needed. A header contest post will be created for users to submit a better header.

Hopefully this sub will be able to get back on its feet. I envision this to be a place for community discussion, as well as a helpful tool for tourists and students alike. Of course the most important thing for this subreddit to be prosperous is you! So spread the word, have discussions, and make this sub as great as can be!

If anyone has any questions, please leave a comment below, or send a message to me.

Notice: The owner of the sub appears to be inactive, however he is still “active” in the administrators eyes. In the case of an emergency, /r/PlattsburghNY will be set up to take the place of this sub.

What small business is missing or swamped in Plattsburgh?

10 Upvotes

There is a building for sale on Route 3 at Military on an acre of land. I was looking around the area and see everything from fast food to hardware to equipment rental. I am new to the area and do not know what is needed. Are there any businesses that are missing or ones that are perpetually too busy that would be a great addition?

I saw Casella is $900 for a 30 yard bin with the first 4 tons included and $100/ton above that. Does anyone know of other providers? I am at State Route 3 and Military so close to the dump.

Just an FYI: This weekend (June 27th and 28th) you do not need a fishing license in order to fish. You of course still have to follow the regulations. If you have any questions feel free to ask here or at r/FishingNY.

Camping at Cumberland Bay State Park

7 Upvotes

I'm looking for some reviews of the Cumberland Bay State Park campground. I booked a site facing the water for Father's Day weekend, figuring we could have a beach day/father's day bbq there. But since I live in the area, I've never actually camped there since it's so close. Plus, the campground seems so close to the main road and doesn't really have that "camping in the forest" feel. But, the pavilion was already reserved so I figured it'd be okay for a day use gathering even if we didn't actually want to sleep there. Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Are side by sides legal in the street now?

2 Upvotes

Saw 3 side by side utv's on US ave earlier. They looked to have plates but I couldn't see if they were NY plates. Google says they aren't street legal anywhere in the state. Am I missing something? Looks like it might be fun for a while.

SUNY Plattsburgh Student life at SUNY Plattsburgh

18 Upvotes

I'm attending Plattsburgh for graduate school this coming fall and I'm a little nervous about student life. I'm still in my early twenties and want to know what the social scene is like for people my age. I'm worried there won't be a lot to do in Plattsburgh bar wise and for other social stuff. Any other current students there please give me your honest perspective. Also is there enough to do in general?
