saratoga

When it was first announced back in February, I thought that it couldn't be possible. Then I remembered that this celebrity had ties to Saratoga but more importantly Skidmore.

It's May 18th and in other words, it's 5/18 or 518 Day! I've lived in the Capital Region my entire life and I love supporting not only my hometown of Schenectady but the entire area I come from so Happy #518Day!

Some times I'll stumble over to YouTube and throw in some of our local cities and towns just to see what pops up. You never know what you may have missed around the Capital Region or even just some of the beauty that we have around us.

Sherry Norton's body was discovered on Wednesday, May 3rd at her Hadley home. The cause of death, according to an autopsy was by blunt trauma which is believed to be an ax to the back of her head. An absolutely horrific way to go and the alleged attacker is said to be her husband, Michael Norton.

Everywhere I look, I keep seeing more and more people talking about the show 13 Reasons Why. So much so that I had to watch it to see what all of the argument and controversy was about. This is a very important topic and a conversation that's crucial to teens but local schools are taking action against this show.

Our iPods are never jus strictly one genre, right? We love all types of music. Even my iPod goes from The Jackson 5 to Keith Urban to Justin Bieber to Eminem. If you're a music lover, you embrace true talent especially when it comes through the Capital Region. And boy, do we have a number of shows coming in 2017!

I absolutely love my dog Freddie and in honor of National Pet Day, I would like to give him a huge shout out. But National Pet Day isn't just for loving all pets, it's actually a way to help out local shelters and give a little extra love to those animals that need some extra attention.

I've been told you have to be open to the unknown for you to experience any paranormal activity. But based on stories that have come from the Canfield Casino in Saratoga Springs, whether you believe or not, things happen. That's what brought SyFy's "Ghost Hunters" to the Capital Region in 2010 for the sixth season of their creepy show.

When it comes to President Donald J. Trump there are many people, saying many things both positive and negative about him, his views and the moves he's made so far in the White House. There have been comparisons for months (years even?) of him having similarities to Hitler. But, the last thing you expect is for that viewpoint to wind up coming from the teachers at your children's school in a class

When it comes to good eats, Schenectady is the place to go!

With the Capital Region being so rich in history it is no wonder there are a lot of reports of haunted places. Here is one towns story.

You may not look at the Capital Region as "young" area, however these facts prove indeed it it.
