Lists

These are not my rules, and to be honest, I'm not sure who created them. But I saw this list trending online recently and it piqued my interest. Not only did someone take the time to list these 20 very specific things, but at least one person actually believes all of them to be true - that's amazing to me...

There's been a lot of talks recently about "missing persons" in Upstate New York as the search for Shaker teacher Meghan Marohn enters its third week and our thoughts continue to be with friends and family of the 42-year-old who went missing in the Berkshires at the end of March. ...

Let's be real - no one I know really needs to be sold on the virtues of Saratoga Springs, the place has it all.  Even if you stay mainly south of the twins, you still make it up to Saratoga on occasion - for something.  The action, nightlife, celebrities, great restaurants, rich history, beautiful parks, world-class music venues, natural springs, great shopping, golfing, boating, it's close to the

It is Saratoga County Restaurant Week and the theme is Save Our Locals. It is an effort to support local restaurants after the lingering effects of COVID-19. There are 50 restaurants participating and each has created a unique prix fixe menu that you can either take out or dine in at the restaurant.

Living here in the Capital Region requires some basic fundamental learning. There are rules here for living in the upstate region of New York  - many of which are "unwritten." But how does one gather this knowledge?  Sometimes it's trial-and-error, sometimes it's word of mouth, others might pick up a few things in a written post like this one which literally spells out a dozen things you

We did a poll on our WGNA Facebook to try and find the best sports bar in the Capital Region where the game is always on, and Bills fans can feel welcome.  It turns out, there are quite a few places including Albany, Clifton Park, Troy, Colonie, Malta, Saratoga, and Hudson Falls and we think we have found the 5 best Bills Backers Bars west of Buffalo. ...

Ever catch yourself driving around the Capital Region and you see  this incredible, multi-million dollar gated home with a perfectly manicured and landscaped front yard and think to yourself, "Who lives there, and what the heck do they do?" ...

We are lucky to live in the vast, beautiful upstate region of New York, more specifically known to us simply as the "Capital Region."  But the reality is, that's about as simple as it gets. I've lived in this area my entire life, and the differences in our towns, cities, villages, and hamlets can be astonishing.  No...

Congratulations to Clifton Park's Kevin Huerter.  Aside from being (from what I hear anyway) a really good kid, he also happens to be a hard-working, supremely skilled, rising NBA star with the Atlanta Hawks.  Oh, and he's now FILTHY rich!  The 201...

It's not even Labor Day, and here we go with "all things fall." I see and hear people in the Capital Region talking about foliage, sipping their pumpkin spice lattes, excited about wearing baggier clothes, getting ready for football, and cider donuts...

If you're a parent with a pool, this has to be your worst nightmare.  It only takes a split second for an adult to lose track of a kid, only to realize there's a chance they may have slipped into the pool. That's what happened recently in Warren County, but thankfully, a fast acting Sergeant with the New York State Police was quick to the respond during this harrowing moment when every precious se
