Did You Know June Celebrates This Treat?
I was completely unaware.
I mean, I celebrate this on a pretty regular basis. I think a lot of women probably do. Yes, men, too. This particular thing doesn't discriminate.
I Don’t Want to Repeat This At Countryfest Even Though It Was Fun [WATCH]
Last July was my first big Countryfest experience as an employee of WGNA. I definitely knew what I was getting myself into, well, sort of. But, no one could have planned how my day would go.
There's always a schedule in place that you can almost guarantee will be thrown out the window by 10am. It's inevitable. No matter the amount of planning that is done a show like this ends up working on it's o
New Yorkers Have the Hardest Time Spelling What Word?
I'm no stranger to confirming the spellings of words via Google. I'll also go there and check which version of the word is the correct one to use, as well, because once you start writing blogs you find out just how many folks are grammar police (even when they, too are wrong.)
It turns out, I'm not alone in my usage of "the Google," as my Nana may say. People all around the United States
Stay at the Ninja Turtles Pad for Just $10/Night in NYC on Airbnb
It's like a serious nostalgia overload to take a peak into the lair belonging to The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Okay, yes, sure I know, "Marissa, the Ninja Turtles are not real. They're cartoons." I get it. But, this home has had the inside redone to fit what our 80's kid brains remember so fondly! And to top it off, it's only $10/night to rent it! If you've ever rented a room in New
Attention Troy! Hot Dog Charlies Is Back! I Repeat, Hot Dog Charlies Is Back!
When I was little, I can remember driving through Troy almost every single day with my Dad. We would always drive by the Hot Dog Charlies on 2nd Avenue and when we did, you'd get that wiff of deliciousness.
This Albany NY Tricentennial Song Video is PRICELESS [WATCH]
Oh, how the times have changed.
While 1986 doesn't seem all that long ago for a lot of us, this video proves just how long ago it really was. From the hair styles, the fashion and the song itself nothing more 80's has ever taken place in Albany!

My Open Letter To Miranda Worked…Sorta
Back in October I begged and pleaded in an open letter to the one and only Miranda Lambert.
It might sound silly, but I am a big fan and I really wanted to see her again. Not just see her again, but see the new music live and in person. I mean, right after she was at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center last June (on my birthday, eee!) she released, "Vice." She had sort of teased new musi
Police Warn: Heroin Found Disguised As Candy in Elmira
The heroin epidemic seems to be getting worse and more creative by the day. Everything you know about the drug may change when you hear what was found in the Elmira area of New York.
Classrooms for Muslim Prayer at Shen: Yay or Nay?
In a world where we've had to remove "under God" from our morning Pledge of Allegiance in schools, this news comes as quite a shock to some in the Capital Region. The question is are we for or against it?
Human Skull Found in Coxsackie Woods
Imagine you're hiking through the woods and you see something unusual. You think you know what it is but, no, it can't be that, right? A skull? Okay, maybe it is a skull but it's most certainly not human, it has to be an animal. It just has to be.
