Troy’s battle over Flock surveillance cameras is heading to court ⚖️🎥
The Troy City Council has filed a lawsuit against Mayor Carmella Mantello over her emergency order to keep the city’s Flock license plate reader cameras active. Supporters say the cameras help police solve crimes and track suspects, while critics have raised concerns over privacy, data sharing, and government overreach. The lawsuit could shape how surveillance technology is regulated in Troy moving forward.

Take a peek around Workspace 🛋️💻👀
This new coworking space in downtown Troy, designed to feel more like working from home… without actually being home. Filled with mid-century modern touches, eclectic furnishings, cozy corners, and beautiful views overlooking the city, the space was built to feel warm, inspiring, and creative rather than corporate.
They’re currently offering day passes during their soft opening, with memberships and eventual 24-hour access planned for the future.
📍403 Fulton Street, Troy NY

One of Troy’s most recognizable landmarks actually floats ⚓️
The Captain JP III has become a staple of the Troy waterfront, but the vessel actually began its life in North Carolina before making the journey north to the Hudson River in 2016. Today, the four-deck cruise ship hosts everything from dinner cruises to weddings and gives passengers one of the best views of the Troy skyline from the water 💦

On this day in Troy history: The Great Fire of 1862 🚒
On May 10 1862, one of the most devastating fires in Troy’s history broke out on Congress Street inside a hay and feed store. Fueled by strong winds and dry conditions, the fire spread rapidly and burned for nearly 24 hours.
By the time it was over, roughly 75 acres and more than 500 buildings had been destroyed, causing an estimated $10 million in damages. Entire blocks of homes, businesses, and major institutions were lost, making it one of the costliest fires in America at the time. While the exact cause was never confirmed, many believed it started from a discarded cigarette.
In the aftermath, Troy introduced major fire prevention measures, including updated building codes, fire hydrants, and expanded water mains throughout the city.
Despite the destruction, Troy rebuilt and the city’s economy eventually recovered.
