Originally posted by Waite21 View PostI saw an item on Fox Business News earlier today reporting that all Ted's Fish Fry locations were closing. Ted's, of course, has been an institution in the Capital District since before most of us, even geezers like me, ever enrolled at the Tute. I always viewed Ted's fish fries as the Capital District's local food specialty, like hoagies and cheesesteaks are to Philadelphia.
The Fox host began an interview with the owner of Ted's, but they lost the connection after about a minute and never got it back. The viewer was left with the impression that Ted's would be permanently closed, effective immediately.
I did an Internet search, and other than the Fox video, I can find nothing indicating that Ted's was closing permanently. I did find an item on wgna.com, dated five days ago, saying that Ted's would be closing on Sundays, but was still vigorously trying to hire workers in order to remain open the other six days of the week. At no time during the abbreviated Fox video did Ted's owner say anything to the effect that "Well, a few days ago I said I was going to be closed on Sundays, but now I've decided that I'm not going to open at all, any day of the week."
Perhaps somebody closer to the Capital District than I am can tell me - is it true that Ted's is permanently closed, or is it still the case that it is closed only on Sundays, and the Fox interview got cut off before that point could be clarified?
Hard to believe, but it appears that it is true. They just opened a big brand new location across from UAlbany this winter. Wow. This is what happens when you pay people to stay home....another blow to the already hobbled restaurant scene in NY.
Edit #2 -- I reached out to food writer Steve Barnes at the T/U and he said the Fox story is wrong and that Ted's were closing on Sundays (just Sundays) due to staffing, but they remain open Mon - Sat.Last edited by Wicked Slappaahs; 05-19-2021, 10:23 AM.

Given that he's been furloughed for the past 8-10-12-14 ?? months, no one should be surprised that any coach is leaving Troy. Impossible to know what his motivations are, but that certainly isn't the least of them.

As far as coach Smith and his future in Troy - I hope he is here for a long time. He seems to be making the right moves and starting to get this program back up to speed. And I could not be happier as a return to the good old days would be lovely. But with SAJ, when has making sense been a requirement for the RPI hockey program?

Originally posted by 25+years View PostSorry....I realize he is a great recruiter, but that will take time and you have to be able to sell your program to the recruits. So Vermont is in a very similar boat as RPI. Perhaps he knows something the rest of us do not. As to Smith’s future, it wouldn’t make sense for RPI to fire a guy who essentially was showing success and had the rug pulled out from underneath him. Unless , of course, RPI has a better coach waiting in the wings for the opportunity of a lifetime. Maybe David Quinn called Shirley to see if there were any openings?
