An area tattoo parlor is all about giving back to the community and they've given tens of thousands of dollars to local charities in their two plus years of existence. And while there's not necessarily a "catch" to what they're offering clients, I think it's safe to say there's a certain level of adventure needed when you walk through their doors and prepare for your next tat.

Karissa in Salem writes: My husband and I have been married for 9 years and like most couples we've had our share of ups and downs but we always seem to find some ground and figure things out.  Lately though, our relationship has been especially strenuous. To be honest, this one was all on me. I screwed up and acted in a way that caused him to question how 'faithful' I was.  I've offered to go to

The year was 1981.  Gas prices were $1.30, a man's knit suit was $80, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was new in theatres, a 19" color TV was $400, kids played with Monchichi Dolls, and the Skedoodle.  But when it was time to have "family time" there was no greater thing to do than gather round the table and play the board game that lit up the Electric City: All About Schenectad

Not since Fultonville's Sawyer Fredericks competed and eventually won Season 8 of 'The Voice' 5 years ago, have we had a contestant of area interest go as far as Ian Flanigan.  The 30-year-old Saugerties native with the silky smooth voice that had Blake Shelton jumping out of his chair on Monday night, came one step closer to the coronation of Season 19 winner on the hit NBC singing competition sh

Rachel in Glens Falls writes: I think one of the newer coworkers in my office is into me but I'm not sure.   He's really taken an interest in my life asking me some pretty personal questions about my views on religion, marriage and kids.  That aside, we've also bonded on some of life's lighter things like favorite comedians, TV shows, netflix specials and things like that.  Every day I look forwar

Last week before Thanksgiving, Andrew Cuomo told us "Don't be a turkey...nobody wants to be the turkey on Thanksgiving." If nothing else, it was another memorable way to remind us all to stay under his 10 person limit and to wear a mask.  It's along the same vein as his daily "Don't be stupid!" reminders. He doubled down on the turkey comments by showing up at one of his daily

Upstate New York's Ian Flanigan makes his return to the stage as a top 16 finalist on NBC's The Voice (8pm) tonight hoping to get one step closer to being crowned season 19 champion.   The Saugerties native has made quite an impact on viewers since his audition back on October 19th when he became a member of Team Blake.  That night, Shelton told the 30-year-old with the gravelly voice and rich ton

'Tis the Seizing.... It's not even Black Friday yet and it looks like some of the biggest deals (and steals) of the season may be  coming from a rather unlikely place.  If you're into high end sports collectibles and retro sneakers -  or know someone who is - the New York State Office of General Services (NYS OGS) is auctioning off an impressive array of these goods on their Ebay page. These are a

The super cute saw-whet owl that was found perched inside the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree has become a bit of a cult hero over the last week a so.  While most didn't give a hoot about the actual tree, 'owl' be willing to bet you fell hard for the furry little fella seen in photos peering out of the box he was placed in or wrapped in the little blanket. The Wildlife experts at Ravensbeard Wil

Hundreds of positive comments flooded the page of a local sheriff's department Facebook when they announced they would be sending out volunteers to deliver pies and eggnog to those who will be going without this Thanksgiving.

Matthew Baumgartner, owner of multiple establishments throughout the Capital Region (Wolff's Biergarten and The Old English Pub to name a few) may appear a bit shy and reserved if you were to ever meet him.  He is, however, quite visible and vociferous on his various social media platforms and not afraid to put himself out there in regards to things that affect his business or his life.  Unfairly

We felt that going in to the Knockout Rounds on NBC's The Voice, Ian Flanigan from Saugerties made the right song choice to continue deliver the knockout blow to fellow Team Blake contestant Ian Pyle.  Pyle sang 'In My Blood' by Shawn Mendes while  Flanigan, 30, selected 'Beautiful Crazy' by Luke Combs to perform in front of mentor Usher and the millions watching at home. This would be an importan
