Fantasy/Scifi Book Club

I'm looking to start a new book club in Troy focused on fantasy and sci-fi! I know there's already a few more general book clubs around here, but I'd like to start one that's a little more focused. I'm thinking of doing something pretty flexible in terms of old/new books, subgenres, and all of that, and definitely with input from everyone who wants to be a part of the group. We're planning on holding a first meeting, mostly informational and for general discussions, on Thursday, December 12 at 6:30 at Bard & Baker. Please let me know if you're interested, have any suggestions, or if something similar already exists! Thanks!

No Fun bag policy?

Hi everyone! I'm going to No Fun tonight for a show tonight and was wondering what the bag policy was- depending on the timeline of everything I may have to bring my small work backpack with me (laptop and a folder of paperwork inside) and I was wondering if that would be an issue- thank you!!!

Personal trainer suggestions

Just moved to the area and curious if anyone has suggestions for a trainer? Specifically one educated in chronic pain/limited mobility. I’m finding some great reviewed people on google but issue is I don’t drive much and can’t tell if the trainers travel - my complex has a substantial gym I can use. Thank you! A

What happened to all the windows at ValuSpace?

Just curious - we have a storage unit there. First there was the gate incident where someone smashed through the access gate with their car. Now the windows of the office are all smashed.

Anyone have the story?

Best vetrinary hospitals in capital region?

My cat (13F) ended up at a vetrinarian while we were visiting family out of state for the holiday, and now I need to find a vet in the capital region for a follow-up in 2 weeks.

I just moved to the area this year, so I don't know where to start looking. I have a car, so just about anywhere in the capital region works, but near Troy/Rensselaer county is preferable. My cat is 13 and I'm going to need to make much more frequent vet vists, so I'd like to keep the drive short.

Any recommendations for vets with good practice and customer service?

In need of computer repair.

Long story short, went into the kitchen for 10 seconds came back and my toddler had spilled a can of cider onto my laptop.

Looking for recommendations on computer repair, as it’ll need to be disassembled and cleaned. I just bought it like 4 months ago 😭

Joining activist and community support groups.

Hi, I'm looking for community groups and activist groups that I might be able to join. I would love to volunteer for a charity or non profit or join a group that advocates for people in need. Does anyone know of anything like that?

Weird Lights in Sky

Saw this near Hoosic street at about 9PM last Saturday. Thought it was a ufo at first, but realized three beens of light were being projected into the sky. Was just wondering if anyone knows what this is. Must be extremely powerful, because they were very visible and bright.

Loud noises

Just heard two really loud noises that aren’t fireworks but questionable if they were gunshots in south Troy. Anyone else hear them?

Hi I'm new here in Troy. Facing so much problem with light in houses, yellow lights all over.

Need some good light bulb suggestions. For studying /working. The landlord probably would change the bulb like my dining room, but it's still not enough. Need some good suggestions and examples if possible. Thank you.

Didn't know which other subreddit to post, so posted here.

Dead cat near Brunswick Park Rd.

I regret to inform the owners of one very cute and plump gray and white kitty of his passing. I found him in the road and he had been hit in the 15-20 mins prior.

I pulled him to the side of N Lake Ave and called the Brunswick dog warden. I hope his people can find him for closure. 😔

Cooking Class in the Capital Region?

I want to get my brother a cooking class event/dinner for he and his girlfriend for Christmas. Yelp and the first page of Google don't really give anything close enough or what I'm looking for. Is there anything in the area like this? I remember Cafe Deli-Icious did things like it but that was years and years ago. Or if anyone has experience with Sur La Table, how was it? TYIA!!

Brown Tap Water

Just had brown tap water run out of my pipes for a minute after turning it on but I haven’t heard any news about boil advisories or water main issues. Anybody know if something’s going on with the water again and if it’s fixed already?
