I believe there are a million other worries we should have on things to fix in the world before we worry about plastic shopping bags - BUT - I keep seeing articles pop up on it any way. Shopping stores are banning them all around the country; in fact Central New York is getting set to be the first area of New York to put the law to the test.

The 100-year old Wellington Hotel had sat vacant in downtown Albany for years and in order to get rid of an eye sore and also utilize the space it held in a more useful manner, it had to go. So, in August of 2014, the city of Albany got rid of it. They didn't just get rid of it though, they did it with some pizzazz!

Imagine Clifton Park with farms and woods; no traffic, no mall or stores, no restaurants, just families and trees. It's so hard to envision. I can remember little bits in the 1980's but even then it was nothing compared to when my grandmother was raising her family in the 50s/60s/70s. Nana was born in South Troy and almost all of her life has been spent right here in the Capital Region. In this ep

I'm a huge basketball fan. In fact, I had the opportunity to sit courtside for a pre-season Boston Celtics game at Mohegan Sun back in the fall.

I've been loving doing this when country stars come into town. I take my weekly feature, Country In 60 and turn it on them to get as much out of them as I can try to get in 60 seconds.

I’m so excited for the Taste of Country music festival coming up this June. Last year was my first and while a tad cold, it was a blast! I mean, how could it not be with three full days of country music with a lineup that never disappoints?!

My soon to be 85 year old Nana has loved opening up and telling me all of her stories from growing up and raising a family here in the Capital Region. In the series so far we've heard about Nana's childhood during the Great Depression, meeting the love of her life (my Grandfather), how they survived a long distance relationship while he was in the service, getting married and even having baby numb
