With temperatures soaring into the 90's by Sunday, it seems like Summer may officially be here before the actual "official" date. Personally, I'm so ready for it! After all of the rain and all of the on-again, off-again temperature changes that make the Ross/Rachel relationship of Friends in the early 2000's seem pretty steady, I'm desperate for the heat!

I love the tin man as much as the next gal. Miranda Lambert's song, "Tin Man" is superb. Neither of these things mean that you're going to find me out and about on a random night in June driving around dressed as him.

As Bob Dylan once sang, "the times they are a changin'" and they most certainly are. As we hit the halfway point of 2017, Stewart's Shops has made the announcement that they will be installing 100 charging stations for electric vehicles.

When you've been in the business this long you feel like you've probably seen just about everything. I mean, I've done everything from the normal on-air broadcast to broadcasting live from a Subaru; I've had broadcasts where the only working microphone was the one in the laptop, I've had to record on-air breaks on my cell phone as a voice memo in the middle of a lightening storm and the list goes

Last July was my first big Countryfest experience as an employee of WGNA. I definitely knew what I was getting myself into, well, sort of. But, no one could have planned how my day would go. There's always a schedule in place that you can almost guarantee will be thrown out the window by 10am. It's inevitable. No matter the amount of planning that is done a show like this ends up working on it's o

I'm no stranger to confirming the spellings of words via Google. I'll also go there and check which version of the word is the correct one to use, as well, because once you start writing blogs you find out just how many folks are grammar police (even when they, too are wrong.) It turns out, I'm not alone in my usage of "the Google," as my Nana may say. People all around the United States

It's like a serious nostalgia overload to take a peak into the lair belonging to The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Okay, yes, sure I know, "Marissa, the Ninja Turtles are not real. They're cartoons." I get it. But, this home has had the inside redone to fit what our 80's kid brains remember so fondly! And to top it off, it's only $10/night to rent it! If you've ever rented a room in New

When I was little, I can remember driving through Troy almost every single day with my Dad. We would always drive by the Hot Dog Charlies on 2nd Avenue and when we did, you'd get that wiff of deliciousness.

Oh, how the times have changed. While 1986 doesn't seem all that long ago for a lot of us, this video proves just how long ago it really was. From the hair styles, the fashion and the song itself nothing more 80's has ever taken place in Albany!

Back in October I begged and pleaded in an open letter to the one and only Miranda Lambert. It might sound silly, but I am a big fan and I really wanted to see her again. Not just see her again, but see the new music live and in person. I mean, right after she was at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center last June (on my birthday, eee!) she released, "Vice." She had sort of teased new musi

The heroin epidemic seems to be getting worse and more creative by the day. Everything you know about the drug may change when you hear what was found in the Elmira area of New York.

In a world where we've had to remove "under God" from our morning Pledge of Allegiance in schools, this news comes as quite a shock to some in the Capital Region. The question is are we for or against it?
