While thankfully no one was injured this morning, all lanes southbound on the Northway near exits 9 and 8A in Clifton Park remain closed.  According to CBS 6 News, traffic is being diverted off exit 10 after a commercial vehicle hit the Sitterly Road bridge causing major backups and delays.  Photos obtained by GNA show the extensive damage to the Clifton Park bridge.

If there's one thing I learned it's that when it comes to the Capital Region, people are going to  have their jokes.  It personally doesn't offend me. I grew up in this area and I live and love it, and if you have something funny to say about my hometown, life's too short - let's have a laugh. That's exactly what I did when I came across this viral TikTok made over a week ago by a 22-year-old woma

Many people in the Capital Region - myself included - can't wait for the Empire to make their return to Albany first time since their 2019 Arena Bowl Championship.  And while it may not be quite as loud as we remember it, it's not because of a lack of fan support for the indoor football league we've grown to love.  For us, it's strictly a numbers game, and on Monday it was announced how many fans

Antoinette in Lake George writes: My husband and I have been married for 9 years and lately he's been obsessing over finding out about his families lineage using those DNA/Ancestry kits.  I'm not sure what he's looking to find, but it's been the only thing he's talking about. He's hosting all these family Zoom calls to discuss their lineage and he's really into it. The problem is, he's spending hu

Last week while searching for a parking spot near Washington Park in Albany, I approached a light and it was red.  Naturally, I came to a stop and looked up while waiting for it to change colors.  In doing so, I noticed a pair of sneakers, tied together by the laces had been flung over the wire.  I didn't think too much of it.  Two days later at the same intersection, I noticed a second pair of sn

Kudos to the Albany Police for their continued efforts to crack down on this ongoing problem, but this is exactly the type of thing that scares you if you live in the city of Albany, Schenectady, or Troy where illegal ATV's and dirt bikes are are everywhere on busy city streets.

When management told us that Capital Region Living Magazine wanted to interview us for the cover of their annual, and very popular "Bestie" edition , Chrissy and I looked at one another with raised eyebrows as if to say, "Really? That's awesome!"  There was definitely a healthy amount of shock considering that most radio shows in 2021 don't get coverage unless they've been fire
