A Capital Region city is asking residents to assist the local police department in helping them keep an eye out for crime. They are calling on residents and their furry friends.

If you have ever been to the Saratoga Race Course in the summer, you can't help but notice the young entrepreneurs selling water on your way out. It's been voted on and there are going to be some changes.

I live near Washington Park in Albany.  In the morning when I'm walking to my car to come to the station, I'll see the occasional beggar or drifter but I typically never feel unsafe even in the the middle of the night.  However, that doesn't mean that I'm not on full alert, watching for anyone around me that could be a possible threat.

I know after all of this snow we have gotten in the last couple of week, the last thing you want to do is shovel more. But these are important things that you should always clear after a snow storm.

It seems that everyone I know is getting on the Instant Pot bandwagon. The multi-cooker cooks food fast and healthy. You can make almost anything in the Instant Pot. But there is a problem with this certain brand and you are being urged to return it for a refund.

I saw this story circulating on Facebook yesterday morning but I wasn't sure it was true. I also was hoping it wasn't. As I watched the news last night, Waterford police did confirm that there was an attempted abduction. Now they need the public's help.

I couldn't help but to overhear a conversation in the office between Chrissy and her mom Nancy today regarding the Newschannel 13 story about Mechanicville residents complaining about water that smells awful and looks like "chocolate milk".   It was actually quite hilarious.  Mechanicville residents have been informed that the water is safe to drink, but when pressed by Chrissy,  Nancy f

I live near the area where a young girl who was crossing the street last year, in the crosswalk, was struck and killed. It was a horribly sad story and now lawmakers, the DOT and Cohoes are all doing their part to make it safer for all.

We all love the summer in the Capital Region and we try to enjoy every minute in the sun because the season is so short. Whether you and your family are enjoying Lake George, Saratoga, the various parks and playgrounds or just a backyard pool this summer, make sure you're kids are protected. We learned the hard way.
