I live near Washington Park in Albany.  In the morning when I'm walking to my car to come to the station, I'll see the occasional beggar or drifter but I typically never feel unsafe even in the the middle of the night.  However, that doesn't mean that I'm not on full alert, watching for anyone around me that could be a possible threat. After reading a jarring story from a girl in my neighborhood o

The groundhog typically can't be trusted, can he?  When good ol' Punxsutawney Phil predicted 6 more weeks of winter back on February 2nd, I figured it was just par for the course.  Well that was 6 weeks ago, and if we're to trust the furry little dude from Gobbler's Knob, this latest round of snow we're about to get here in the Capital Region Monday into Tuesday, should be our last. That's the goo

Baseball season is right around the corner and the ValleyCats are holding auditions for National Anthem singers.

The Capital Region we could really use a moment or two of Spring to get us through the never ending Winter!  The Snowman in Troy opened up this past weekend and many more of our favorite local ice cream spots are on the horizon as well.  Here are 6 of the area's best ice cream places and when they'll be open in 2018.

I live in Albany, I love it here and I want only great things for my city but I was scratching my head a bit when I saw the news about the proposed 3.1 million dollar Skyway that Governor Cuomo announced on Monday 'will transform the Clinton Avenue ramp off the northbound side of Interstate 787 into the Albany Skyway'.  3.1 million dollars is a lot of money, and many people feel that something lik

If you've ever scoured Craigslist, it can be an interesting place, especially the free section. I saw this one post and instead of being interested in owning it, I just have so many questions.

I think I jinxed the Capital Region when I said last Friday would be our last snowstorm of the Winter! So of course now the forecast is calling for a good chunk of snow mid-week.

Let's face it, we all make mistakes...but this one was pretty bad.  All day yesterday we knew there was the potential for some larger snow totals in the hill towns, but I was under the impression that Albany, Schenectady, and Troy was more than likely going to get a little bit of snow, maybe some rain, no biggie. I say this with respect to the men and women who generally do a good job of predictin

There was a time when the Siens men's basketball team ruled the Capital Region every March, giving us the perfect mixture of pure madness and pride that only sports can provide.  The 2018 MAAC basketball tournament was a way for the Siena Saints to recreate the kind of magic we've seen in the past, but not even the great David Blaine could give their season life. The Saints vanished in a cloud of

Upstate Concert Hall and the band are postponing tomorrow night's show due to the incoming snowstorm here in the Capital Region.

My friend and I love escape rooms. It's a live-action puzzle you need to solve in order to get out. If you haven't tried one, here's a few in the area to take a look at.

Just when you thought we were out of the woods, Old Man Winter is pulling the cruelest of moves.
