There is a school district in the Capital Region that will have students staying a little longer each day next school year. This will affect all students grades K through 12.

One way you can tell if someone is from around here or not, let any of these wrong from Only In Your State and you've given yourself away as an out of towner.

This is the time of year when coyotes start to look for places to settle down when their pups that will be born in the spring. There have been sightings downstate and now, they have been seen in my own backyard.

Three local banks have pooled their donation funds together and handed over a check to help the victims of the devastating Cohoes fire.

As Cohoes continues to rebuild after the devastating fire that ripped through downtown, the Governor has announced help for the local businesses and homeowners who have been affected.

After spending some time with a few of it's residents this morning at our WGNA 'Rebuild Cohoes' broadcast, I've never felt better about a city and it's ability to rise after the horrific fire.

As a resident of Cohoes and witnessing the devastating fire that happened on Thursday, it left myself and the entire Capital Region asking how we can help. Join us Monday as we kick off our Rebuild Cohoes Relief Effort.

I live in Cohoes and noticed a huge undertaking in overhauling the park on Columbia Street and turning it into the Veterans Memorial Park. On Veterans Day, the construction was complete and the park was dedicated.

Living in Cohoes for the past four years, I have seen the city continue to grow. They are rebuilding downtown, the Cohoes Music Hall is a busy venue again and now there could be a movie theater coming to the city.

As a Waterford resident, I have to say this whole bridge construction has been a pain. Now listen, before you go and get upset with me and say, "it needed to be done" or "don't you care about safety?" Of course I care and of course I know it needed to be done, but still, as an every day commuter, it was starting to become more and more of a problem.

Over the last decade, plus, Cohoes has been in the process of reviving their little city. What had become a run down, in spots, fairly abandoned area has had a lot of hard work put into changing its reputation.

We always take pictures of rainbows and share them on social media after it rains but those pictures could bring joy to a little boy in Cohoes.
