Visiting #TroyNY, went into a fave instrument store because they were offering a "Fuck ICE" fuzz pedal. Not that I need a pedal. But they sold out super quickly . . . so of course I ended up with a new (old) bass instead. Well, at least I'm safe from any other instrument purchases for a while.

#Troy NY's Hart Library gets it.

I regret to inform you that Mattices' has long since closed, and despair is now an option.

Wandered down a previously unexplored alley in #TroyNY and chanced upon a wonderful #mural – 3D printed to look (mostly) like an iconic local brick, though there are some variations. Some of the bricks have fallen off, and I kinda like that even more. #art #publicArt #murals #muralart #upstateNY #enjoytroy

My #LocalHistory website, @hoxsie.org, is now federating freely!

Happy to say that @activitypub solved a problem for me.

So if you're into random snippets of history about #Albany, #Schenectady, and #TroyNY, go ahead and give it a follow – it works!

There is just very little that's better than a winter hike. Back in our old home stomping grounds for a weekend. #hike #hiking #winter #UpstateNY #TroyNY #PeeblesIsland #Cohoes #CohoesNY #trail #trails

Just a #TroyNY street scene that caught my eye.

One of the most famous aviators of her day, the now seemingly forgotten Ruth Nichols, suffered a terrible crash in a plane she wasn't piloting at the end of a "good will" tour in Troy, NY, promoting air travel. She survived and went on to great accomplishments. I've got the story of the crash here:

Going through thousands of old #photographs, trying to see what catches my eye and is worth sharing. This old iron fire escape fascinates (and terrifies).

This is typical of downtown Troy, New York.

Reactionary, pig-loving, Troy, NY dirtbag mayor Cruella Mantello destroyed unhoused peoples' tent encampment, steals, and destroys their personal possessions!

Let these capitalist filth know they need to stop coddling landlords, provide social services, & stop using pigs to obliterate evidence of their continued injustices:

An #historicalmarker notes the site of the Troy Sentinel #newspaper, which was the first to publish Clement Moore's poem, "'Twas The Night Before Christmas," 200 years ago!

Since this was 26 years before the first U.S. Christmas card was printed in nearby #Albany, we are declaring that #TroyNY has more #ChristmasSpirit

There's way more of this type of nonsense at my #LocalHistory website, https://hoxsie.org/
