Septic Tank Replacement Costs
Got the news that our septic tank needs replacing and wondering what people have paid recently. Looking at a 1200 gallon tank.
We’re located right on the edge of Schenectady and Saratoga counties but this subreddit is bigger than those so I thought I’d start here.
Thanks!

What roadwork is happening on Broadway and Church
it feels like they have been working on this intersection for a month or longer. I have seen them work on every corner multiple times. They repave the sidewalk and a week later they are chiseling it back up. does anyone know what they are working on?
I first thought they were replacing the traffic lights but now I have no idea.
Basketball?
I just moved here from NC, and curious if there is any pick up basketball? I’m 26 and would love to get with some guys around the same age to play.
Seemkng Recommendations for Fun Saturday Activities For Two 20 Something Girls.
Hello, looking for this Saturday. Thank you!
Mechanic Recommendations
Hi all,
I’m moving to the area and looking for a good mechanic in the area. Looking for an honest mechanic, best pricing, no overselling, good quality work, and preferably family owned. I’m coming from a family owned mechanic that calls me by name and sometimes won’t even charge me for small stuff. Been going to them for 20 years, and looking for something similar. Any help is appreciated
Private driving instructors
Is there anyone who can give me a lesson or two to prepare for the nys road test, like ASAP?
Are there towns like Saratoga to rent in (feel and aesthetic wise) but not costing me 2100 a month with no utilities.
I was planning to move up to Saratoga after my visit because I liked how everything was on broad Street and it had a 90s cozy town feel. After looking for a place for the past three months there doesn’t seem to be anything under two grand that includes anything. I like the walkability, how beautiful it looks and general compared to syracuse (originally from the south). I have heard dating can be rough but that’s okay I spend my time in the gym, hiking or with my cat but in my mid 30s now and want a happier feel..nothing against syracuse it’s just not the place it was 20 years ago when I visit.
Where do 40-50 year old singles go to meet people?
Not interested in online dating. I do all the “meet people at hobbies/interests” events. But where do people go if they want to meet a random single with fate’s help? Where do hopeless romantics these days?
Not a big drinker. I like coffee,
Saratoga Signature
Looks like this store on Church St is closing soon. Definitely a strange spot so not surprised. Anyone know what it's gonna be next?
Hunter/jumper riding lessons
I grew up riding horses, had to put the hobby to the side for grad school, and I'm finally in a place to start up with horses again. Looking for a barn with some semblance of a lesson program but that may allow me to lease/show once I'm less rusty. Not looking for anything crazy, but looking for a few recommendations in about a 30 min radius of Saratoga. Grew up showing mostly locally rated shows, coursing in the 3' range and looking to get back into it.
Place to watch champions league final?
Will be in town during the champions league final, was wondering if there’s any place that would be recommended to go for the match?
Thanks

Upstate NY 5th Grader Makes Top 128 Nationwide — Needs Votes
🙋♀️Hi everyone — I’m hoping this community might help support an amazing local kid named Mikey.🙏🏻
Mikey is a hardworking 5th grader from Upstate New York (Saratoga County) currently competing in the nationwide America’s Favorite Student competition. Out of thousands of students who entered, he has made it down to only 128 students remaining nationwide — and as far as we can tell, he’s now the only contestant from New York State still left in the competition.
He’s in the QUEST program for gifted learners, takes advanced math, scored in the top 1% on his CogAT testing, participated in the NYS First in Math competition, and recently played the lead role in his school play. He dreams of one day attending an Ivy League university, and this competition could really help him get there.
Voting is free once every 24 hours, and there are also optional paid votes. Paid votes are tax-deductible donations that go directly to The Planetary Society, which supports science and space education programs.
We’ve been trying so hard to spread the word ourselves because we haven’t had much luck getting local media attention, so every share, vote, and kind comment truly means a lot to us.
Thank you for taking the time to read Mikey’s story and support a great kid chasing a huge dream ❤️
My NY 5th Grader made it to the semifinals and needs community support!
🚨 BIG NEWS FOR MIKEY! 🚨
We are SO excited to share that Mikey was recently featured on NewsChannel 13! 💙 We are beyond proud of him. 🥹
Today is a DOUBLE VOTE DAY which means every single vote counts TWICE! 🙌 We are competing against families with major financial backing, so community support truly means everything right now.
Mikey is a hardworking local student who has made it all the way to the national semifinals, and we would love to show him what our community can do when we come together. 💫
Out of thousands of entrants, there are only 128 left for this week’s semifinals. Mikey (as far as we can tell) is the only competitor from NYS left! If he advances this week, next week he competes against just 15 other students from across the country. He has come so far, and we’d love to see him make the finals-but it will take a lot of support to make it happen!
⭐ Free votes can be cast once every 24 hours
⭐ All votes are doubled today
⭐ Paid votes are donations to The Planetary Society
Please consider taking a moment to vote, share, or cheer Mikey on. Every bit of support matters more than you know. Thank you all for helping make this experience unforgettable for him! 💙

Rides
Does anyone know of someone or some place that could accommodate 5 people for a ride back and forth to the Belmont Stakes on June 6th? My friends and I will be staying at our cottage in Schroon Lake for the weekend but trying to find safe and sober transportation back and forth to the Belmont. We’ve been quoted at over a $1,500 for rides! Looking for something cheaper than that and nothing fancy.
Private chef rec’s?
I’m looking for a private chef to hire for a summer birthday party. It’ll be just my immediate family celebrating a 70th birthday and we thought a private chef could be special.
Anyone have any recommendations?
Allegedly the owner of Childs Automotive posted this.
He has switched his profile name from Gary Robert to Gary Childs now. Lots of ick here.
