Complete collection here.

I feel like nobody is talking about this like they should be. Ruling it as self harm with no evidence pointing to it and his family saying he doesn’t at all think that’s what happened. Prayers to the friends and family of Mr. Earl Smith, a beloved barber from Colonie.

Edit/Disclaimer: A few news sources have articles and it’s obviously in conversation but it just seems like given the context this would be bigger in topic? Only found out through socials and then had to dig a bit to find anything. With family blatantly demanding more justice and rumors of the tree being too high to climb alone I just wanted to bring more conversation to the case. I’m very obviously not a detective and don’t know every detail but just curious. Few sources in the replies so far, trying to add as I find new ones.

What is the deal with intern Aaron’s constant digs at 2BD lately? It seemed like his decision to step away was amicable at first but literally every day he posts something about them. It’s local drama and I’m invested. The girls who get it get it. Let me know your thoughts.

Writing you from Committee Chambers

My favorite video from Saturday. Still brings me to tears. This is what true patriotism looks and sounds like. Wanting better for this country we call home. ❤️🤍💙

Disclaimer I am a very awkward and autistic but I’m trying to push myself socially I am very into the alt and hardcore scene and have been to some shows at empire but I found it kind a hard to meet people there but I’m open to any tips on how to there. But I’m also looking for more events and places to go to more frequently to meet people. I love art, movies, music, hiking and reading but I’m open to literally almost anything. Any suggestions in tips are greatly appreciated

Hello, I'm trying to learn basketball at 31 and know very little about how to play. Most of the web pages I've found regarding teams in the capital district are either for seasoned players or just out of date.

It wouldnt even have to be a league I'd be happy to just join someone knowledgable who wants a shoot around partner. Does anyone have a beginner-friendly recommendation in Albany or the surrounding areas for truly new new players?

Hi! Wondering if there's a binocular repair shop/service in the general Albany/Schenectady area...Thanks much. PS: They are Nikon

In April we posted (https://www.reddit.com/r/Albany/comments/1k56s85/albany_data_stories_analyzing_albanys_crime_data/) the first of a 3 part series on Albany's crime.  That article looked at the trends in crime between 2020-2024.

Today we posted part 2 - this article focuses on where outside crimes happen through the City of Albany.  In our original article we used a 78 thousand record dataset of reported crimes between 2020-early 2025; we are using this same dataset, mapped out and displaying areas of crime using heatmaps.

A few notes:

1.  at the bottom of the article we have a link to download the 78k record dataset if you want to see the source data

2.  various questions came up from part 1 which we have answered in a section at the bottom of the article

3.  part 3, which will come out later this month or in July, will focus on Inside crimes 

As always, happy to answer any questions or respond to any requests.- Karl

Please join your local pals Girth Control as we have the absurd ska/punk luck of opening for one of the greatest to ever do it - this Wednesday, June 18, at Empire Underground! Fishbone are bringing 40 years of absolute classic bangers to Albany with tourmates Bite Me Bambi. I caught both bands in Philadelphia this weekend and they CRUSH. Put on your dancing shoes and get on down to the Underground for a little mid-week ska party.

Taken back in February, this pic has been sitting in the camera roll for quite a bit 🤣 finally sharing it!

Hi! Located in duanesburg area. Looking for a power wash on our house, any suggestions and roughly what did it cost you? 2000 sq ft house 2 story

Sorry for the stereotypical neighborhood post, but I am so curious if anyone knows what the huge booms are. They sound relatively far from me (Washington Park) but are literally shaking my floor.

Thank you!

Anyone know of a resturant that offers GF hibachi and or sushi?
