Rachel in Latham writes: My sister is a bit of "Karen".  She's very in your face when it comes to masks, where we're going, what we're doing.  She complains about neighbors who aren't social distancing and even does random drive-by's to make sure that our other brothers and sisters aren't having too many people over.  I know her intentions are good, but how do I tell my sister to back of

Renzo, 28,  in Albany writes: Hey guys I would love to get your advice on how to defeat this stupid pattern I have.  I meet an attractive, nice girl and we go on a few dates and have fun together. Then, she starts to put me more in her life and wants to see me all the time.  After about 3 months of this I feel stifled and want to run.  This pattern happens all the time and it's starting to happen

With each passing week, more casinos in the Northeast open up while Capital Region gamblers wait for any news on the reopening of Rivers in Schenectady.  Eventually, it's going to happen, but when? Here we are in the middle of July and much of what we've heard from Rivers is that they have an extensive reopening plan but are waiting for the state's approval. There was also news recently about a po

The Saratoga Race Course opens up on Thursday and while the horses are making their way up to the track as we speak, fans this year will not.   But the pandemic is not getting the best of a local man who took the time to meticulously recreate the Saratoga picnic area that he and his buddies sit at every weekend.  It's a stunning mini-replica of the 'Toga paddock and best of all, right in his backy

The Museum of Innovation and Science (miSci) in Schenectady is getting ready to reopen this week. Because of COVID-19, miSci was forced to close but will now reopen with certain changes and new exhibits.

Cali in West Sand Lake writes: Is it possible to just be "unlucky" in love?  I'm 38-years-old and have not been able to settle down for more than 2 years with at least 6 or 7 different men dating back to when I was 25.  I've had some men take jobs in other states, leave for religious reasons, heck I even had a guy tell me he couldn't be with me because he was allergic to my dogs. I just

Vicky in Waterford writes: I've been dating a guy for about 5 months and I'll be honest with you, at times he's kind of gross.  It's not even stuff like passing gas or burping - we all do that.  It's way worse.   He told me the other day that he pees in the shower.  Not just his, but my shower as well.  He doesn't see what the big deal is, according to him "it all washes away in the end."

Social distancing and all the coronavirus restrictions have put a damper on things, but not for two friends making the most of it outside a Central New York Burger King.

The "Summer of Bummer" continues as the bigger and more traditional 4th of July firework shows have been postponed or canceled due to COVID-19, but all is not lost! While some of the massive displays that we're used to seeing in downtown Albany, Clifton Park, and Lake George won't be happening, that's not stopping fireworks in many places in our area.  Here's a list of area places that w

If you've been wanting or needing a new vehicle but are fearful of taking on an added payment, the Ford Motor Company wants to help you buy without fear.  On Monday it was announced that they're launching a new program called the "Ford Promise" designed for anyone afraid that their job status down the road could be up in the air.

Beginning at 6 a.m. on Friday, July 3 and continuing all throughout Independence Day on WGNA, Brian and Chrissy will be honoring some of the local men and women in our military who may be away from their families while protecting our freedom back home. Or, maybe you would like to honor the veteran in your life! We'll be airing special shout-outs, messages and personal stories from family members w

The weekly segment called "Voicemails from Mama" took a very interesting turn on Wednesday morning.  Coming off of Father's Day weekend, I made no bones about the fact that my Dad and I didn't exchange gifts.  I explained to Chrissy on the air that just a few weeks earlier, I hooked Papa Codes up with a bunch of custom made signs for his barbershop that explained the new Covid rules and
