r/Troy

Does anyone know of somewhere I can get help? I have Medicaid and need substance abuse help. Please. I am trying to get better.

Hi all,

I have 2x properties in Troy I’m looking for lawncare for. One just some hedge trimming, 1x a month. The other is a full mow, edge and blow 2x a month.

Usually take care of it myself but work has me stretched thin and they need to get done. Feel free to DM, any and all help is appreciated!!

Hi. What I'm specifically looking for is a couple of people to carry a large/heavy box up the stairs to my apartment. I've got back/hip/knee issues, and can't help. Anyone know some local people or movers who won't charge a fortune? Thanks!

Anyone know of any spots in the general area to buy firewood that aren’t the little bundles you can grab at a grocery store? I’ve been driving around side roads between ~Mechanicville and East Greenbush but haven’t seen any stands or signs. Just looking for a couple days of camp-fires worth, not a cord.

Anyone know what they are filming downtown this week?

Hi everyone! I’m going to be moving to the Troy/Brunswick area soon and I noticed Tamarac Elementary School is right near my new residence. I have a daughter who will be attending elementary school, so I was wondering what everyone’s experience has been with Tamarac Elementary. How are the teachers, staff, and overall school environment? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Need quarters for laundry and wondering where i can get them downtown

BLACK CAT ON CORNER OF 2ND STREET AND JACKSON!!!

Someone's pet cat was wondering here. I pulled over, they are friendly, if someone is looking for a black cat with a tan collar they were last spotted there.

Hi everyone, I’m doing some family-history research and hoping someone with longtime connections to Troy or the surrounding Capital Region might be able to help.

I’m researching Rudy Ciccotti and the Ciccotti family, particularly any connections they may have had to Troy, Albany, Schenectady, or nearby communities.

I’d be especially grateful for any historical information or personal recollections from people who knew him or the Ciccotti family.

This is strictly a genealogy/family-history project. I’m not looking for anyone’s private contact information or asking anyone to share sensitive personal information publicly. I would prefer you send me a DM if possible!

Thank you so much.

Hi all! I just moved to Troy and I'm looking for a hair stylist recommendation. I'm going back to blonde and want someone who really specializes in blondes and prioritizes hair health/damage prevention along the way. Bonus points if the salon offers K18, but not a dealbreaker. Would love any recommendations, thank you!

I’m a renter. There’s a wasps nest in the wall of my apartment. I can hear them inside and I see a lot of wasps around the property and crawling in the edges of the roof/sliding.

My landlord is a “do it yourself even if you don’t know how to do it yourself” type who would just spray some insecticide all over. Wasps are important pollinators and important to the environment so I don’t want that to happen. I don’t know what kind of wasps they are though.

What I am looking for is a company that I can give him the name and number of who he can then call and have show up and safely rehome the wasps or safely kill if they’re invasive. I don’t want a pest control company that will indiscriminately spray poison around the property and also kill all the ladybugs and praying mantises and whatnot. I don’t know if I’ll be able to talk him into paying much (or anything) so if there are any services that might do this for free that would be swell but I’ll try either way.

Does anyone have a recommendation?
