According to a report by News Channel 13, a well known Latham businessman (as well as father and grandfather) was tragically struck and killed by an oncoming car while pushing a leaf blower near his business on Troy Schenectady Road on Sunday.

Fundraising during a pandemic can be especially difficult considering the safety precautions and restrictions we're all trying to adhere to.  Gone (for now) are the days of packed ballrooms and spirited galas that seemingly took place in the Capital Region at least once or twice a month.  Today, many local foundations are finding new and inventive ways to raise funds while keeping the fun and exci

We've all seen the joke photos going around the internet and all of social media that shows Governor Andrew Cuomo peeping and creeping through your window to make sure you're following his Thanksgiving COVID mandates. A company in western New York that specializes in custom art, banners, signs and stickers has very opportunistically - and quite hilariously - created a purchasable sticker that has

Reggie in Troy writes: I recently found out that my girlfriend has been cheating on me with her personal trainer.  I was devastated - I actually drove to the gym and saw them in the parking lot on a day that I normally don't go.   Naturally, I want to go after the guy but I realized that she's the one that ultimately made the choice.  She apologized and begged me to give her a second chance but I

While the Christmas tree on display at NYC's Rockefeller Center has been met with criticism for it's less than stellar looks, the cute furry little owl that was recently found living inside the tree has been cherished and adored.  Ever since we saw his head poking up at us from inside the box they placed him him, our hearts melted.  While the tree itself, donated by a farm in Oneonta, is viewed by

Deer-crossing signs might be the norm when traveling on State Route 385 in Coxsackie, but this sign has people looking out for a creature far more unique and a lot less common. I guess it's time to add this road to the list of 'Must-Drive Roads in America.'

Bumpy's Polar Freeze, a long-serving ice cream parlor in Schenectady is now under new ownership and the local couple who purchased it plan to relaunch and reboot in the Spring.  Excited about the opportunity that awaits, the buyers are doing all they can to distance themselves from the previous owners oft-talked about and much maligned ways of treating its employees and the community.

Collin in Colonie writes: Me and my girlfriend have been dating for 2 years and I would say since the Pandemic started, she's been using social media a lot more.  She used to post little pictures and jokes and stuff, but now she's doing Facebook live, Instagram live, and Tik Tok  talking about what she is doing with me with me.  Some of it is personal stuff that I don't want people knowing. The ot

We've been singing his praises ever since his blind audition debuted on NBC's The Voice nearly a month ago, and on Monday night during the battle rounds the #TeamBlake star from Saugerties did not disappoint.

This is what the holidays are all about.  A restaurant and deli in Saratoga Springs - realizing that people are struggling mightily this year - is giving away free, hot meals for the holidays out of the kindness of their heart.  They've made it quite easy too. You don't to show any proof that you're struggling and they'll ask you no questions.  Simply tell them that you'd like a meal, and 'they go

Casey in Amsterdam writes: My boyfriend and I (Both in our mid-twenties) have been dating for almost 3 years and things are good - we spend a ton of time together but the only thing that's really a nuisance, is that we need to travel 45 mins see each other. I live alone, he lives in Troy with a roommate.  I have a large place that is plenty big for the 2 of us, and for the last year or so, I've be
