While you were gettin' your drink on and partying with friends listening to the musical stylings of the one and only Florida-Georgia Line, I wasn't singing along with you this time. I wasn't backstage or out by the GNA booth, I wasn't in a dressing room or up close to the stage taking pictures. I instead was out of breath and sweating my butt off!

My parents were like, "Marissa, what do you want to do for your birthday?" I'm not a very materialistic person, I don't need much and I always get them experiences. Of course, I tend to surprise them and with the way my schedule is while they'd like to surprise me that's a bit difficult to do. So, when they asked, I picked the exact thing any 30-something would pick - "I want to see

I had posted a couple of days ago that there would be some filming fun happening at the Albany International Airport and sure enough it's in progress right now! The film, entitled "Departure" stars a couple familiar faces including Maisie Williams from "Game of Thrones" fame. Not everyone can get themselves over to the airport to see what's going on, so I thought I would bring

Last week I posted about a castle that went up for sale in Ballston Lake. Yes, a castle. It's actually been on the market for a bit, but I figured if I didn't know there was an actual castle in the Capital Region, you probably didn't either. Which, I was right - the post was shared hundreds of times!

There seem to be so many stores and restaurants closing around here lately. I mean, what gives?! It's not like we don't go out, right? I go out all of the time. So what has gone wrong with some of these places? For them, it's too late. But, honestly, maybe they just weren't what we wanted. There are plenty of businesses, whether chains or locals from other areas

Since the votes were counted and Donald Trump was labeled "President Elect," protests have become the new norm. No, listen, I am well aware protesting happens all of the time, but it seems like everyone is getting involved these days.

I was missing my "kids," as I call them, the other day at work. I have three fur-babies; Lyric is a cat, he's my oldest, Penny is my shorkie dog and Graham is my little boy bunny. They are my world and I love them. Like anyone else, there are special stories behind each name

This morning Bethany and I chatted with Steve Caporizzo for Pet Connection. When I looked at the pictures he emailed over of the two dogs

This time of the year, I love driving around the Capital Region. Watching for the Christmas lights of all different types. We all have a favorite style of light. Do you

Dan and Shay are not only super chill guys, but they happen to be even more talented than you may expect. When they took the stage at Upstate Concert Hall Tuesday night, the lights began to flash as the sweet, sultry sounds of country perfection took over.

My family Christmas tradition usually involves a surprise. See, my Nana is 84-years old and she lives on her own. She's able to get herself around and do most of the normal stuff, just a little slower than she used to. When my cousin and I noticed that she was starting to put less and less out for Christmas, we knew that was a little out of character.

I'll say this right now: Jingle Jam has been my favorite concert so far with 107.7 GNA. I've hung out with Miranda Lambert, compared wardrobe choices with Carrie Underwood; I've played games backstage with Florida-Georgia Line and talked songwriting with Little
