Think you know the Capital Region? Put your knowledge to the test with this unofficial list of demonyms (monikers to describe people from a specific place).

We first heard back in October that we would be getting a second location for Fred The Butcher in the Capital Region. Now the renovations of the new building are almost complete and it will open a bit sooner than expected.

From the minute I heard that TanPoPo was opening dangerously close to my house, I've been counting down the days. I can't believe my countdown is now to single digits because it's opening soon!

I had no idea what animals could be lurking in our backyards here in the Capital Region. It always surprises me when a bear suddenly appears in Albany. There are also new animals that I had never heard of like the coydog that has been seen in neighborhoods across our area. But this one I had no idea lived in the woods in the 518.

Drunk driving on any level is foolish. Driving drunk to where the police are is just hard to believe.

What is going on with all these animal attacks? After incidents with an alligator in Florida and a mountain lion in Colorado, a scary situation arose yesterday right here in the Capital Region.

What started as a call about a flooded basement, ended with some people going to the hospital because of carbon monoxide.

After getting information about someone having an illegal pot growing set up, authorities were issued a search warrant for a New Scotland home.

Three different places were vandalized with spray paint in the Village Of Voorheesville and Town Of New Scotland.

Feura Bush is an interesting little hamlet in the Town of New Scotland (see what you learn when you ask for information from our listeners?) .  That's not all I learned, and you're about to learn yourself as you listen to this little takeoff on a classic Rascal Flatts song.

Every once in a while I get a request for a town that is a little MORE off the beaten path than others.  I don't mind that at all, don't get me wrong.  That's the whole point of Your Town Thursday. However, I want to test the waters before I go ahead and start writing

Albany - After a long awaited process, city police have been cleared of any wrongdoing in the December 29, 2011 fatal shooting of Nah-Cream Moore, a 19-year old man.
