When you are enjoying delicious Stewart's ice cream, you don't really think about its history. Well, I don't. I only think about the most difficult decision.

I'm sure you've seen these blue plaques all over the Capital Region but have you actually stopped to read any of them? I have the most interesting from each county and you're not going to believe what happened right under your nose!
