niskayuna

Well, the results are in, and it became a nitemare to declare a winner, but I do have one - the official" Pothole Paradise" of the Capital Region is…….

A man from Niskayuna was allegedly using New York State travel credit cards to buy things that that he wasn’t supposed to.

If you’ve driven in the area of State Street and Balltown Road in Niskayuna, you’ve seen plenty of changes over the past year or two.

It's funny – I live in Niskayuna and didn't know about this until the time of this writing which is 7:30 PM tonight, but I guess there was a water main break in Niskayuna and they are urging people to conserve the water.  That's ok, some people say it's discolored!!

Isn't that a beautiful lawn leading up to the banks of the Mohawk River? Psych!!! That's not grass at all. It's part of the river. So what the hell IS that stuff?

It is a sad day in local sports today as Olympic gold medalist and Niskayuna native Jeff Blatnick has passed away at the age of 55 due to complications from heart surgery.

I guess those might be fighting words.  Maybe residents of other towns may fight this bold statement, but I'll put Niskayuna up against anyplace for nice looking entrances.   Proof below

I had this very interesting conversation with the son of a friend of mine.  He delivers pizza, and was telling me some of the inner workings of the business.  Come on - work with me here.  This is good stuff.

I couldn't believe it.  We let the little guy out, he squats in the woods for a moment and does his thing.  That's his entire experience with "the wild".  Otherwise he walks on the street.  How did he get lime disease?  Well, I guess he's not alone.

Really? Roads completely unplowed in a major town like Niskayuna? I realize I drive in rather early, but I don't get it.  I could go on here, but I'd rather sing my complaint, if you don't mind in commemoration of the first winter snowstorm of the season.

Heck, you gotta help your neighbors, right?  Being a Niskayunan, I thought I'd help spread the word about a very cool contest going on right in my town.

In an attempt to become just a little bit more aware of the happenings in my own neighborhood, I went to a meeting of the Niskayuna Town Board this week.  I was impressed-not only with the people on the board (they passed an important resolution for us, but I won't get into it here, but also with the artwohung in the room.  Then I found out who drew these masterpieces!
