The Egg re-hatched on January 8th after a nearly $20 M renovation. That was great news! It was…read morestarting to become an eyesore with its aging seating and bathrooms. Now, it's a sight for sore eyes! Better sound system and LED lighting were among the upgrades. A little more seating. New seats and flooring. New wall coverings.The public was invited to check out the improvements at a free evening event. When you consider that the distinctive facility is about a half century old, the upgrades were overdue. The helpful ushers are not paid to be tour guides so I'm not sure how accurate their information was. Some ushers said the bathrooms were not renovated. The bathrooms I visited did have upgrades, but I cannot understand why the some of the original hardware including the old, chipped sanitary napkin receptacles were screwed back into the womens' bathrooms stalls. It seriously detracted from the overall appearance and seemed to be a bad penny pinching decision after so much money was spent. I can't tell you about the men's rooms. The men in our group of friends said they thought some work had been done. The Egg's unique shape was inspired by the half grapefruit that Gov. Rockefeller was eating during a planning meeting. In this day and age of large venues, it remains a more intimate setting. The Kitty Carlisle Hart theatre has a capacity of just under 1,000 seats and there's another smaller theater just below it. I was in the audience a few years ago when Pete Davidson did his stand-up act at the Egg. He complained about the small size of the venue. He added another show for same day just to make it worth his while. I came away offended by some of what he tried to pass off as humor. If performers like Davidson don't want to play the Egg again, I'm okay with that. It has great acoustics for fine artists of a whole different caliber. The Egg re-cracked open with aerial performances by Good Karma Studio and the DJ Hollyw8d. Looking forward to attending many awesome performances in this newly improved venue!

The best part is they are free and open to the public. They offer a range of classes for different age groups such as creative writing, performing arts, culinary arts, digital arts, studio art, crafts, dance, and more. I found out that the last Friday of every month being Troy Night Out, makes a great night out exploring arts and culture. The exhibits are open during the day and seem to draw me in after brunch in Troy. I find them pretty unique and definitely one of a kind. I'm hoping to take some classes in the near future such as sculpting with clay or a few of the culinary classes. Overall a simple and neat arts center with plenty of activities for art and culture seekers.

The Massry Center is a great little theater right in the heart of Albany. We recently attended a…read moremusical performance in the theater and the acoustics in the venue are great, the common areas are bright and clean, and the ticketing/arrival process was seamless and easy. The Massry has teamed up with Troy Savings Bank Music Hall for their scheduling/ticketing this season and the line-up they are presenting is a wonderful, diverse selection of music. I am looking forward to attending future performances at this venue and seeing what direction they move to with their programming. With a number of bars and restaurants within walking distance, it's easy to make seeing a performance at the Massry into a true evening out.

For the $75 price tag I would have expected it to be much better than the Field of Horrors Haunted…read moreHouse Experience we went to in Troy, NY, but it was not. First thing to point out is you need to arrive early as possible because the lines get crazy long. Luckily for us we already purchased our tickets online and were able to get in line right away. Secondly, if you need to use the restroom or do anything else, be sure to do that before you wait in line for the hayride. There is no stopping once you get in line for the hayride and once you get off the hayride you have to go through all the haunted houses back-to-back. When you get in line, they corral the groups into what looks like a large steer pen until its that groups time to get on the hayride. It's about a 15-minute ride through the woods - you experience several scare zones, and gory scenes. There are a handful characters like Michael Myers that run out and climb on the back of the wagon trying to scare guests, which is more fun than actually scarry. Once the ride comes to a halt guests once again line up to go through all the haunted houses. The haunted houses were hit and miss. Some were better than others and all the staff in the houses did a decent job. We had a run-in with one security guy that was just a complete jerk and threatened to kick us out for trying to take a picture with a character stating that we touched them when we did not, the character actually grabbed on to us, so WTF! Once through the haunted houses there's not much left to do but walk around, grab a bite to eat and something to drink. It was a little expensive but decided to get a few hot dogs, Snapple ice teas, and some other light snacks; roughly $40 for this. The characters walking around and doing photo ops in this area were great and their costumes were also very good. They stayed in character the whole time we were at the park so this made for a spirited evening. My biggest complaint is there is not enough Porto-lets available or seating near the vendors for the sheer number of guests attending. They literally had 4-5 stalls available for the thousands that can potentially visit here nightly. Also, staff were not stocking the stalls with toilet paper. There were a lot of unhappy Ladies here that night.

My first time coming here didn't know what to expect. For…read morethe price you didn't really get a whole lot. We paid $75. Hayride was not very scary not much going on just drove through the woods and looked at a few things on the side. The haunted house was okay some unique areas.

Plenty of plastic outdoor chairs on level ground in front of the stage and lots of (crab)grassy sloped area for blankets and lawn chairs. The sound system and stage lighting are really good also. Apparently there are plans to add more permanent seating and upgrade the entire facility in the future. Restrooms are available and only a short walk from the performing area. Parking is along the access roads (Ashmore Avenue and Fehr Avenue). The concert we enjoyed tonight was by a Ukrainian group called Dakha Brakha. Wearing strange colorful outfits, playing numerous percussion instruments plus accordions and a cello, they created beautiful harmonies and wild animal sounds. But this is not a review of the concert. Why should you go here? The shows are always FREE!

There is PLENTY of standing room (and dancing/moshing room :) ) and also a line of auditorium-type seating raised along the back wall near the sound booth. (This raised seating area is great for photo/video taking, IMHO.) The stage is low and close to the crowd, without barricades, which lends to the intimacy. Was concerned about it being too cold in the winter months, but heat was working just fine. There were some coat racks available, too. The bar prices were reasonable, with a nice selection of tap and cans, and seltzers and other options available for the non-beer drinkers among us. Sodas and non-alcoholic options were also on the menu. The staff at the Hangar was pleasant and helpful, through and through and the sound was good throughout all bands. We parked a couple of blocks up the street; parking at the venue is limited, but finding parking in Troy is rarely an issue.

A nice mix of types of holes some with doglegs and others straight ahead. Fairways seem wide but often have trees hanging over that are thick enough to keep balls from getting through.

I have on numerous occasions reserved by calling a tee time for myself and showed up and he has had a problem. Apparently, he has a problem with single golfers! He only wants foursomes and when the others in the time slot cancel, he doesn't want to honor the time slot. I have in the past worked with them and changed the time slot. Today I had reserved for 2 and while paying had an attitude thinking I was golfing as a single. Five minutes before the tee time he is pressuring me that the other twosome was going to tee off without us if we don't move along. P.S Yes, my buddy was two minutes late but the tee's were backed up and we were waiting for the fairway to clear. I have been to a lot of courses but never have I dealt with someone so rude and obnoxious like this before! I like the course but will never play there again even as a foursome as long as he works there!
