Here  we are getting closer to the holiday season. It's time to plan the parties, buy gifts, get set for family dinners and all the holiday fun. I don't know about you, but my 'go to' for a

A perfect find for "Throwback Thursday!" It was November of the 1948-49 Siena Saints college basketball season and it was in full swing. The college itself was just a baby in the Capital Region

I know plenty of people that have looked into or that have gone and had solar panels installed on their roofs. Though, to be honest within that "plenty" of people not many of them were all that thrilled with the results. So, is it a big surprise that

A few weeks ago it was a booming rumor around town that James Franco was not only in the Capital Region but scouting filming locations. It turns out, he found one!

Latham Circle Mall was once as it stands today: an open air mall. When it first opened in 1957, it was very much like we now know the "Shoppes at Latham Circle" to be until it was enclosed in 1977. That's what many of us remember and grew up with until its demise in 2013. But, how cool would it be to go back and remember what once was?

The show is coming in a matter of days and now it's time to help you try to figure out who will be taking the stage! Nov. 16 at Proctors in Schenectady we'll be bringing back our Secret Star Acoustic Jam presented by Adirondack Tire and Service.

Halloween is oddly enough one of the most difficult holidays for me for some reason. I can get creative in every other aspect of anything. But coming up with a costume idea and pulling it off ain't easy!

I've been helping a friend go through his parents basement a bit to weed stuff out. Next thing I knew I came across this Key to Albany Guider Magazine from 1967 with the title: "Christmas Is Colonie Center!" What stores were included? How did the blurb describe the new mall? Remember, malls were a new thing!

I remember when I was in elementary school, we had a reading competition. I think it was a "turn off the tv" type of thing. The goal was to get so many hours by the students and if we hit said goal, our principal at the time would kiss a pig. It seems so silly now, but as a kid under 10, I was all about it. What I think is super cool and wouldn't look back at and say, "that was sill

I hear the trains all the time by my house. It's actually a really soothing sound that I've become quite fond of. It's something that is common, it's become a type of white noise, it's just there. You can almost forget the power that's held behind that horn that helps me fall to sleep some warm nights.

I have loved all of these country shows coming through the Capital Region. It's been great to not only get to these shows, but experience the true talent of such big names like Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan and as of last night, Carrie Underwood.

Not only is it a regular weekend, it's Halloween weekend! To help you better celebrate, here's a list of what wine you should pair with your favorite Halloween candy.  (Or, with the candy that you steal from your kids!) Trick or Treat?...
