Young burn victim and fire survivor, Safyre Terry lost everything, except her positivity in a 2013 home fire that took the lives of her father and siblings. After the nightmare of a situation took place so many people reached out from all over the world to Safyre, including Kim Kardashian and even President Obama with her simple request of Christmas cards that year. The mail just kept coming and n

I'm sure you thought about it too, "How does one fall off of a gondola?" When the news broke this weekend about a girl falling off of a ride at Six Flags Great Escape, my follow up question was immediately, "What ride?!" But when the response was, "the gondola" I had a moment of confusion. Huh?

Ahh, graduation day. Such a memorable ceremony to be had. Ohh wait, yours didn't end with a couple dozen people trading blows? Well Watervliet's 2017 edition did.

Value Penguin recently ranked the safest cities in the state of New York, and 3 area cities including Albany landed in the bottom 10.

I've played the game since I was 6-years old and as I celebrate my birthday this weekend, it's hard not to think of Phil Sweeney who won't get another birthday and won't play another softball game. For those unfamiliar, Phil, who passed away at just 63-years old became suddenly ill while playing the game he loved. He had played softball the majority of his life, just like me.

As the cities police force deals with an internal affair following the suspension of its entire drug unit, here is how the city will deal in the meantime.

I'll start this by saying that I am a woman with a career and a busy schedule and bills just like so many. I know I'm typically the target demographic for the average "day spa" yet, I still can't bring myself to indulge. It's mainly the cost that adds an extra layer of stress and anxiety just thinking about it, which really is the opposite affect that a spa should have. I'm definitely no

The feelings you have going through the TSA check points on your travels are mutual to your fellow travelers. Take the shoes off, sweatshirt/jacket, take the lap top out, let them know about the medication you have (yes, I promise that's just my inhaler), take off all of your jewelry and hope that it all makes it to the other end of the conveyor belt. This always sucks to go through, while complet

Normally, birth isn't exactly news worthy and when it is it's something pretty crazy. Ya know, like that time a woman gave birth on the side of the Northway? That was crazy. Well, this story is less on the crazy side and more on the almost never heard of side. Akosua Budu Amoako gave birth to her first child at the age of 59.

One would thinking driving in the Capital Region itself would be the top driving pet peeve, but one specific thing really gets to everyone on our roads.

I know, Dad can be hard to shop for. My Dad especially (don't we all say that?) They have everything they could ever want (most of the time), they don't typically need anything (you can afford anyway) and they don't want to go out of the house (unless it's to go to the casino - oh, just mine?)
