There have been many Capital Region New York State Lottery winners recently. It seems most of them have been Take5 winners, but this time there is a new millionaire in Warren County from a scratch-off ticket well sort of.

Get ready to be able to get your car cleaned inside and out in more locations all over Upstate New York. It won't be easy, however, because costs of construction have gone up and business hasn't completely bounced back because of the pandemic. But when they are finished there will be more convenient locations for everyone.

There are plenty of local ski mountains in and around the Capital Region and this summer they are remaining open to offer different activities to help recoup what was lost during the pandemic. If you are traveling the Northway or out toward Queensbury, you may see the ski lift running full-time.

If I say 'Storytown U.S.A.' what comes to mind? Lake George? Ghost Town? Jungle Land? Maybe these pictures will help take you back to Storytown.

When chain restaurants close it seems that they stay vacant forever. It's nice to know that in Queensbury the old Outback Steakhouse is being taken over by a local business and restaurant owner who will bring in a family restaurant.

I am getting a severe case of cabin fever and I know I'm not alone. But we got some good news about amusement parks and summer camps reopening soon in New York state. Finally, we heard from Governor Cuomo who is slowly allowing more things to open.

It's nice to get away when it's close to home. We would go to the Great Escape Lodge a lot to just have a long weekend or for a change of scenery. Now the Great Escape Lodge wants you to come back and enjoy their "Snowed Inn" packages. The cool thing is that they are also offering a discount as part of Lake George Winterfest.

Getting a vaccine in the Capital Region is hard to do. If you or a loved one are in the groups that are allowed to schedule a shot, it has been almost impossible to schedule an appointment. If you are lucky to get one, chances are you are waiting weeks to get the vaccine. In fact, my mom is traveling to Plattsburgh to get hers and her appointment isn't until March.

Fresh on the heels of National Ice Cream, here are the Capital Region's best, according to you.

A local Outback Steakhouse informed their staff on Monday that their onions won't be bloomin' and steaks won't be sizzlin' anymore as management decided to cease operations permanently after 14 years.

Check your "Take 5" lottery ticket.  Somebody in Warren County is sitting on some pretty serious money right now and they may not even know it.  If you played "Take 5" from the New York State Lottery last night, it could be worth over 10 thousand dollars; 10,686.50 to be exact.

Six Flags, the parent company of the Great Escape, has formulated a reservation plan to manage attendance.
