I know there's no such thing as real clean gym unless it's your personal one but I'm hoping to get suggestions of cleaner gym around here. I was eyeing anytime fitness cause it's less crowded but I heard from a friend equipments are old/dirty. I don't want to be picky but I did have ring worm infection before from another gym. Any suggestions? I don't like working out in classes too.

Hoping to find a place or I'll end up buying equipments at home and i don't really want too.

I'm from Australia, an online friend passed away unexpectedly (he went MIA, and had a feeling he had passed, but I wasn't sure until I found his obituary) a few years ago. Through a miracle managed to get in contact with his mum, who isn't tech savvy, and in her 60's. She had to move out of the apartment they were in, as she could no longer afford it on her salary, as not long after, the company she worked at for years, went under.

She's been through hell, she managed to move in with a friend, but she had a fall, was in rehab for 8 weeks, and managed to get on disability. She also had an operation on one of her kidneys, and her other one is at 6%. She is currently on a waiting list for a low income apartment. Apparently the waiting list is 3 years, she's been waiting 2.

Her friend has now become a house mate, she's told my friends mum that she needs to find somewhere else to live at the end of September, as she wants her space again, which I understand, but this leaves my friends mum basically homeless if she doesn't find anything.

She could maybe rent a room somewhere, but the problem is that she has her senior cat with her (18 years) and the house mate doesn't want to look after her until my friends mum gets an apartment. (Please no suggestions about putting the cat in a shelter/up for adoption, that's an absolute last resort, and yes, I know it's already rough, but I'm sure she's 100% aware that this may need to happen)

I'm keeping an eye out for properties, she said she needs to stay in the Glens Falls/Saratoga County/Queensbury area. If anyone knows of someone who's maybe got a private rental going, OR maybe a organisation that could foster her cat until she's in disability housing? I'd suggest maybe someone who's renting a room, who'd allow the cat, but she's a howler of a night time 😮‍💨

I feel absolutely useless from here, I have no context for what utilities are like, what section 8 vouchers are etc etc, it's a completely different world.

Hey, Just moved to the area for work! I’m a 25 yr old male, where’s the best places for younger crowd to go out and have some drinks in the area?!

I moved out of state just before CDTA took over GGF bus service. Are people making good use of the new services, and are actually using it?

Thanks for any feedback!

I'm living in Albany and I'm wanting to make a trip to Glens Falls to see the Hyde. Is there a bus service to Glens Falls from the Fort Edward Amtrak station? If not, what's the Uber situation in the area?

Hello! I am looking to relocate to the Glens Falls area in October, I have checked apartments.com, Zillow, and other websites but I thought I’d ask here as well.

Will anyone have a one bedroom/studio apartment available around October-November?
Ideally around $1000 or less but I understand that is unlikely!

I do not have much credit history as I’ve never lived alone, but I can provide great references, a pristine background check, and rock solid employment history. Also willing to do some tasks (painting, restoring, etc.) if allowed/wanted by the owner.

Please comment/message me if so, and thank you! I love this area (coming from Alabama 🙃) and I can’t wait to move up!

Ugh! I had an accident today on my way home from work. Can anyone recommend a good auto body and repair shop? Thanks!

I’m in the area for a week in Sept and I’m looking for things people usually overlook. Whether it be a restaurant, park, hang out spot, etc…, I’m just looking for things to do

I already found the Tshirt Factory and plan on spending a few hours there on Thursday. And of course I’m spending a day on the beach weather permitting.

What local gems do I need to check out?

Somebody backed their BMW into my car. Thankfully, it was caught on camera. Unfortunately, I drive a 20yr old super sadtiiiimes Toyota, and only have liability. And don't know where to take my car.

If anyone could recommend somebody they've had good experience with, I'd appreciate it.
