I've lived in Albany my whole life, and until recently I had never seen a bird's-eye view of The Egg at the Empire State Plaza in downtown Albany.  I honestly have no clue what kind of late-night rabbit hole I dove into, but when I came up for air, I knew more about The Egg's history than I ever needed to know.  I also learned something else about the quirky and  oval-shaped Albany landmark: The t

For much of the last 16 months we've grown accustomed to the daily disappointment of mandates that prevented us from doing the things we loved.  We barely ate at restaurants, concerts were canceled, movie theatres shut down, ballparks emptied, family gatherings put on hold and weddings postponed.  Surely I missed a few hundred other things. It sucked for everyone, but we all reacted differently. 

Darryl in West Sand Lake Hey guys looking for a little advice here.  Quick back story:  My girlfriend and I had been dating for 3 years when back in February I asked her to marry me. Luckily for me- and thanks to the pandemic - I proposed to her inside my apartment and not out in public.  Because she said "No."   It wasn't like a "hard no" she explained by it saying that she ju

Several sources are reporting that a male in his 20's was shot and killed while driving  during the overnight into Tuesday morning.  Colonie Police are ruling the death a homicide and believe the man inside the car attempted to flee the scene but lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the Motel 6 in Colonie.

Jack's Oyster House is one of the great, historic restaurants in downtown Albany, known for their outstanding food and impeccable service.  But today, people aren't talking about a delicious dish they served, they're talking about one they didn't.  According to News 10 ABC, a super-rare blue lobster was on the menu at the famed Albany eatery, but even the hungriest of all patrons couldn't bring he

Vanessa in Latham writes: I've been dating a guy for a few months and we're the talk of the town. He's 25, pretty successful, no kids, and very handsome.  But something in the back of my mind is telling me to be careful because his reputation is that he's a bit of a "player." Almost every girl warns me about his past which has included having multiple girlfriends at the same time.  I've

A Glenville family is lucky that no one was hurt when high winds caused a tree to fall on their home Friday afternoon, smashing their garage to bits, burying their vehicle, and leaving the homeowners with little options without a place to stay or a car to drive.

It's so tragic to think that some sicko would take aim at a beautiful and innocent animal and actually have it in their heart to pull the trigger of a large-caliber rifle to shoot it dead.  Just one week ago, GNA was invited out to Cobleskill, NY for the launch of the Schoharie County Eagle Trail and it was truly a special day for all of us involved.  As the bald eagle population in the area and t

When I saw the face of 7-year-old Connor White on the news on Tuesday, my heart sank.  Not that I needed to see it in order to feel such sorrow for his family, but because seeing his face was a bit of a reality check.  It made me think of my own family and how quickly a precious life can be taken from us.  I saw my son's smile in his smile, Brody's eyes in Connor's. In a Facebook post written by t

My son goes to one of the schools in the Bethlehem Central School District and it was nice getting an email from the administration recently showing us parents where Bethlehem High School ranked according to the latest data from U.S. News and World Report. I wish I could say that my son contributed to Bethlehem's overall strong ranking, but I can't.  Brody is in kindergarten and won't turn 6 until
