r/Saratoga

My husband and I have a toddler and are currently thinking of relocating to the northeast from Colorado. My husband is originally from Philadelphia and everytime we hit the area, we talk about “what if”. We visited Saratoga springs and love it. Close to hiking, swimming and boating access, camping and outdoor aspect that is very much what we are used to with Colorado. Our hope is to give up Colorado’s extreme summer heat (4+ months of 90+ days straight) and smoke season. Are there a lot of young families local? Are there good resources for these families and youth sports, etc?

My main concern is location. While I love where it is, my entire life, and my husbands, we have lived within 30 minutes to a major city. I grew up outside Chicago, him Philadelphia, we met in Tampa and live just outside Denver and Boulder now. My biggest concern is the job market. We are both in tech. And while we are remote, we still have 20+ years left of work. If we ever have to look for new jobs, it makes me so nervous being about 3 hours from a major city. We’re also big sports and music fans and enjoy going to concerts and sporting events. Do people o. Saratoga springs make their way to Boston or nyc often for these things? What’s that usually entail?

For me, it’s an old abandoned barn on my way home after working late at night. It’s in the greenfield area near Saratoga. Last week, I was driving down the road next to it and saw what looked like a lantern/light in one of the open holes in the side facing the road. As I drove by it, I got this eerie feeling that I was being watched and like one minute later a deer jumped in front of my car.

I take the longer way home now on one of the state routes. 😳

Title, looking for spots with good vegan / vegetarian food in the Saratoga / Ballston spa area

As the title says, we chased her about a mile and thankfully found her when she jumped up on a very nice couples porch. Those folks immediately contacted dog watch and we are seriously thankful. I also wanted to thank the dozens of people who were helping us track her. Saratoga is so awesome and filled with so many great people…amazing to see the whole community come together and help us track down our dog. People were running and trying to catch her. Thanks to everyone for all your help!!!

Who’s voice is being used on all the crosswalks? AI?

I own acreage outside of Saratoga. The site is already cleared and the driveway/road is roughed out. I want to build a very straightforward 1800 square foot house with modest upgrades. Can anyone recommend a reputable builder who will take this project on for under $500,000? I already have a house plan and it would be a basement foundation.

Of course that is true if the list is:

Trashy, bipolar, fugly, uneducated, low-class, a liar, a tax-dodger, a human trafficker and a racist.

Need some guidance and encouragement as a person with mobility issues: how do I navigate SPAC if I use a walker? I’m so intimidated about maneuvering such a large space. I want the be in the main amphitheater and it appears there are handicapped seats available. Do they provide transportation from your car to your seat? Do I specifically purchase a seat labeled “handicapped” when I order online? I would be attending by myself, so one ticket. Thank you for any advice!

We were up at the Wilton Walmart today before lunchtime, maybe 1145ish and there were fire trucks and cops with lights at Walmart, the employees were all outside in the parking lot and they weren't letting anyone in - any word on what was going on??

What are the chances Lil Wayne cancels his concert at SPAC? He already no showed at his last concert in Maine.

I'm in town for a few weeks and wanted to get my car detailed while I was here. If anyone has recommendations on mobile detailers, I would appreciate it.

Where would be a good place for a party of 11 to get dinner after the track? Preferably something lively/ not too formal as we will probably all have had some drinks by that time.

I have an old Jetski I wanted to bring to Saratoga lake for the weekend. Are they strict with inspections and registrations on the lake?

My lady is looking for beef ribs but isn’t having any luck locating any. Anyone have a source? Thanks in advance.

Edit: we’re cooking these at home

Anyone else wondering if the Lil Wayne concert Thursday evening will be cancelled due to the heat? I know SPAC shows always continue through rain or other weather conditions but I don’t know if I can remember any concert being this extremely hot.

At least it's something different, looks interesting
