Wish code would be given back the teeth they've lost the past 5 years.
What about the bicentennial in 1989? I still have a banner and a coin from it.
Troy people are the best. We stick together even when there be haters.
Like they say.." You just jealous" (Troy is home for us families that live here 50 years now seeing the grandkids living hear. We ain't leaving.this is our city.
Just as a point of interest, 1989 was the bicentennial of the formation of the Village of Troy. This year is the bicentennial of Troy becoming a city under NY law. Less than 27 years to move from village to city is pretty impressive, and speaks volumes about the entrepreneurial spirit and opportunities that Troy had at that time. Many of us believe that both of those are returning.
Do you want to help? STOP bad-mouthing Troy. SAY at least one positive thing every day, especially if it contradicts someone's ill informed statement. MAKE a conscious effort to do something positive every single week.
Well said!
6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Running of the Gingers with lonely, single men with red hair
I say one good thing about Troy. Our policemen have a great shot at shitbirds.
Lmao
Fine structure to your statement. An endorsement to the quality of a Troy education. U vary right.
Love your comment Michael. The positive voices and the people who are actively working to move Troy forward will prevail.
Great idea for a podcast.
Troy is unique, with many buildings still standing from the 1800s,Troy has a nice park on the river downtown next to dinosaur many excellent restaurants and a kick ass police department. True, it has deteriorated terribly over the last 15 years, but there is still plenty of good people and good things to see in Troy. It's the only hometown I'll ever have and I love Troy
If you love Troy so much, why not do something to make it better? Your community service is legendary.
Code didn't lose its teeth you moron, they started operating how they should act and not out of spite and Vengeance
I put thousands of hours coaching boys and girls in baseball, basketball, football and softball.I see former players and parents almost everyday and it's refreshing to be recognized and well liked years later. Thanks for playing!!
That was years ago what have you done lately??
Troy rocks but maybe help the city move ahead with some new blood. Have ya'll ever considered working together? Seems like a bunch of men and women doing nothing and never improve jack.
I chase TV cameras around
Put your money where your mouth is.
I help get rid of dead weight political hacks with the help of many others on my TROY NY page. Perhaps you heard of it. Almost 3500 members and growing every day, it's a difference maker whether you like it or not!
So you call running your mouth community service?
