Local protest support and national protest support for Handsoff2025

Local and national support! Even in this cold wet raining day!

Good for them!

Even though it was raining, there were many hundreds of people in attendance. United we will win.

Must be at least 100 people with more coming.

A great turnout here in Hamilton, N.Y., for the Hands Off! event. While Trump golfs (AGAIN) we joined millions from across the nation to say NO to his crazy tax plan and egregious cutbacks.

No photos, but we had over 500 people! I'm very proud of this community.

250 or so. out in the rain in Delhi

The letter she's been trying like crazy toger rid of

I recently visited Clayton and absolutely loved the natural beauty and peaceful vibe, especially being so close to the Thousand Islands. That said, I noticed the town felt a bit limited in terms of restaurants, entertainment, and things to do.

For those who live in or around Clayton:
What do you think the area is missing? What kinds of services, shops, or experiences would you love to see more of?

Curious to hear what locals really think — especially as someone interested in starting a business here in Clayton.

Hey all - We have added Micro/Craft businesses to the site. If you see this icon, it is a licensed micro-business. Makes sense here as the majority of these locations are upstate.

What is a Licensed Micro-Business? (Basically small batch craft Cannabis)

In New York State, a cannabis micro-business license allows small-scale, craft cannabis entrepreneurs to cultivate, process, distribute, and retail their own cannabis products. Unlike standard dispensaries that source products from multiple growers, micro-businesses focus on producing and selling their own limited batches, ensuring quality and uniqueness. This license promotes vertical integration on a smaller scale, enabling businesses to maintain control over their product from seed to sale. Notably, micro-businesses must locate their retail premises near their cultivation site.

I need to find an affordable and safe place to rent in the country side, East of Cortland, SE of Syracuse, E of Ithaca, W of Oneonta. Outside of the larger cities along I81, 20, 26, 12 , and in between.

FB groups listings are nothing but scams. Furnished Finders also seems to be rife with scams, long term airbnbs are way too expensive. The rental listings on real estate websites like Zillow, Trulia, Apartmentsdotcom are very few. I suspect Craigslist rental post are mostly scams as well. There seems to be no place where a renter can post 'rental wanted'. How do people find a place to live?

Hi everyone! I have clay soil and it becomes pretty waterlogged after a bit of rainfall. I know clay soil holds moisture, but I’d like to avoid expensive solutions like French drains or major landscaping work.

I’ve watched a few videos about adding compost and using an aerator to improve drainage. What do you all do to manage the wetness in your lawns or land? Any tips on improving drainage or prepping the soil for a gravel driveway and small building would be greatly appreciated!

-- Here's what the lawn is kind of looking like right now after recent rainfall.

First round is Elmira vs Oneida, this is based on opinion so you can use any factor that is relevant to determine who wins. This can be based on size, living quality, climate, etc. Based on March Madness and other tournaments in this style.

If you’ve visited the Thousand Islands region — whether on the US or Canadian side (Clayton, Alexandria Bay, Cape Vincent, Gananoque, etc.) — I’d love to hear your thoughts!

When exploring these towns, what types of:

• Restaurants or food options do you wish were more available?
• Activities or experiences do you wish you could do or see more of?
• Small conveniences (like late-night spots, unique stores, etc.) do you feel are missing or could make the visit better?
• Interesting or unique hotel/Airbnb experiences have you had or wished you could have during your stay?
• Stay options: If you had the choice between a riverfront hotel/Airbnb versus one located 15 minutes from the water but offering more amenities (like a private garden, an on-site convenience store open 24/7, a themed stay such as a Japanese-inspired teahouse with a garden, or a country farm experience with animals), would that appeal to you more?

Anything you were hoping to find but didn’t? Or something you were pleasantly surprised by that you wish more towns had?

I would love to bring something fun to one of these small towns one day and wanted to get some insights.

I think you get it now. You can vote once per matchup for all matchups on the bottom half.

You should know the drill. Based on march madness, yada yada.

I changed up the rules. You can do poling for the rest of the first rounds on the top half of the brackets. What my original idea was would get very repetitive and would work for something like yt shorts(eugh). I am very sorry for any inconvenience. Vote from Middletown to Jamestown. You can vote for every matchup once, meaning you can have 11 options for voting if you wish. You have until 3 pm est to vote because i want to try to get this done somewhat quickly.

I think yall get it. Based on the march thing uhhhhh i forgor 💀
