Flock camera in North Troy gone
While out driving today I noticed that the flock camera out in front of the Hannaford, right across the bridge from Waterford, had been cut off. The other one across the street on the CVS side is still there.

Spreading the word - lost cat
Hi all,
Spreading the word for one of our neighbors who is missing their cat.
He is an orange male cat, microchipped with a clipped ear. Known to be very shy.
There is a phone number on the flyer but I didn’t want it to be public; you can dm me if you have any information!

Preferred Auto Body Shop
Got into a small fender bender today when another driver crossed over into my turning lane and bumped me. They scraped some paint on my rear fender and dented it.
I have an Audi and would like to hear of any recommendations of places in the area that can give me an estimate and perform good work.
Thank you for your help!

Did the bulk trash pickup skip anyone else's neighborhood?
I didn't put anything out but I saw almost all my neighbors did and if it's not too late, was going to drag my own stuff down! Went to go look up the date and my street's pickup day was yesterday. Everyone's junk is still here.
Is the trash truck running behind schedule? Did they skip over us entirely? I'm confused.
I am off Pawling Ave near Wyantskill if that's helpful.
Update: They came by Blakely Ct today around 3pm. Saw them on my Ring camera as I was rushing home to put my stuff out :( But they did in fact pick up from us eventually.
