I grew up in Mechanicville, a small town with a ton of pride. Anytime someone does well from Mechanicville, I like to highlight them and hope they get the recognition they deserve. This time, it's a linebacker for the UAlbany Great Danes.

When I was growing up in Mechanicville, there was a store that was a staple in the community. It was around as long as I can remember, and we all knew the family too. Now after 70 years, they will be closing their doors forever.

Are you going out to Saratoga this weekend? Maybe getting a quick bite to eat after the track? You may want to take a look at this list first because inspection violations were just released.

Last week I had the list of the richest places to live in the 518 and to be honest I was pretty surprised. Especially because the ones I expected weren't on there and the ones that were I'd never heard of. Of course, where there's a richest list there's a poorest list and here are the poorest places in the Capital Region.

Being from Mechanicville and still having family there, it was disturbing news when nineteen year old David Feliciano was shot and killed on Monday night in his driveway. The police and investigators were not giving out any information until this morning.

The average person doesn't expect danger in their own home. But for 19 year old David Feliciano, that danger took his life.

Coeymans, Ravena, and Mechanicville residents have been complaining about brown drinking water lately and that inspired us to come up with this parody song to the catchy  "Drinkin' Problem" by Midland.  Hear the exclusive little ditty that we hope puts a little smile on your face, mornings with Brian and Chrissy on 107-7 WGNA!

I couldn't help but to overhear a conversation in the office between Chrissy and her mom Nancy today regarding the Newschannel 13 story about Mechanicville residents complaining about water that smells awful and looks like "chocolate milk".   It was actually quite hilarious.  Mechanicville residents have been informed that the water is safe to drink, but when pressed by Chrissy,  Nancy f

I am truly blessed to share some very happy birthday news with you today. My grandmother on my mom's side is 102 today. She is a beautiful woman inside and out and she still enjoys her beer, making crafts and playing bingo and table bowling. It amazes me, though, that when I tell people about my Nana, they usually know someone who is also well into their 90's.

Twelve men were busted for attempting discreet encounters and sexual hook-ups with minors in the Capital Region and beyond.  Ages for the children ranged from 9-14 and of the 12 men arrested, one was a substitute bus driver from Mechanicville while one was a local radio DJ from Glens Falls.

I grew up in Mechanicville and I am proud of it. We didn't have much to hang our hats on. Our high school sports teams were pretty good. We had Joe Cocozzo who made us proud by playing for the San Diego Chargers in the NFL. But now we claim horse trainer Chad Brown.

I'm a runner. At least, I like to tell myself I am. I've run a half-marathon before but even running for that distance seemed incredible to me. I don't know if I could ever complete 26.2miles. The Boston Marathon is a completely different monster and the people who take part in that aren't human.
