Add one more show to your summer concert calendar. With already great live music announced for summer 2020 (really, is it summer yet?), the SPAC lineup just got even more stacked. Dead & Co. are coming back to SPAC this August.  I mean, it's not really a surprise since they do well and SPAC is a great venue for them, but still, I know I'm pretty excited about the announcement.  ...

So people are leaving New York.  That's not news.  But, some lawmakers are now trying to figure out why. I almost did a survey to see what you would say, but instead I figured you could comment and let me know since I'm writing about this...

English and Spanish aside, what do you think is the most common language in New York?  Well, it's definitely not one that I expected. Business Insider did an article about the most common languages in each state, excluding English and Spanish...

If you have even taken a glance at the news recently, I'm sure you've seen the devastation from the fires raging in Australia. But sifting through the news and articles, I found some positive news about the situation. Some rockers are really stepping up and, well, showing what it means to rock...

I mean, is this really true? Amidst recent reports I've heard about all the people leaving New York, moving out of New York, and of course all of the political frustration going on currently, I recently caught some positive news about New York...

Well that’s kind of a huge exclusion criteria for possible employees. Smoke cigarettes and want to work for U-Haul international?  Not happening in 21 states.  Sorry.  It looks like the company has put a ban on hiring nicotine users starting February 1st of this year...

I will admit I didn't watch the Golden Globes live last night, just the recaps this morning.  But really all that mattered to me was a clip that's already been all over social media and the news.
