If you're like me, you've kind of gotten sick of watching the news lately.  But it doesn't always have to be bad! I love this story and had to share it.  With the cold weather coming up, and the holidays,  it's the time of year with clothing drives and toy drives and food drives...

Recently, a couple Capital Region locations landed on a list of "blast-from-the-past" rollerskating rinks. The list, posted by newyorkupstate.com, did actually make me feel really nostalgic.  I used to love going roller-skating as a kid growing up...

A ‘strong’ probable culprit has been announced by health officials for the string of vaping-related illnesses. I read about the announcement on cbs 6 albany, but it was officially announced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)...

Tis the season I guess. It's not quite Thanksgiving yet, but winter-time holiday themes are popping up all around the Capital Region.  As for television, it's no different.  Since the season is kicking off (complete with cold weather and some snow), it's fitting that CBS just announced their holiday movie lineup...

Student loan debt has reached an all-time high, only second to mortgages. No wonder no-one I know around my age can buy a house.  But it's no surprise.  As a part of the generation that was told "college, college, college", we took out the loans, we did what we were told...

Two casinos in New York have made a list of the Top Ten casinos in the U.S. outside of Las Vegas. I guess Las Vegas was excluded since that’s a beast of its own.  However, there are a ton of casinos outside of Vegas, and recently a vote was done to pick the top ten nationally...

Driving from the Capital Region to Vermont the other night, I got a chance to see some of the damage done by the recent storms. In a recent post by WNYT, updating the public on power outages and work being done by National Grid, they noted that nearly 300,000 customers had been impacted by the storms...

Halloween may be over, but there are still some rocking decorations that need to be celebrated. I have to admit. The Beatles tribute house in Guilderland was possibly one of the coolest things I saw this year.  Any rock-themed Halloween idea automatically wins to me...

Bet you've never heard Nine Inch Nails sound like this. In what I will argue is the best new "Halloween"-themed mash (sorry, Monster Mash), Nine Inch Nails and the Ghostbusters meet head-on in a collision of greatness. I stumbled across a YouTube link with an intriguing headline, and clearly had to click it...

Less than two weeks until Free Beer and Hot Wings are coming back to the Capital Region.

Construction is underway and millions are being spent to renovate SPAC. Summer concert season is over, and it looks like upcoming seasons may be even more enjoyable.  According to News 10 abc, a $9.5 million renovation project is happening at SPAC...

I thought this list was a joke, but um, it's not.  Though I still don't believe that these are New York's three most popular candies. Over the years, I've asked you about your favorite candies- and which are the worst.  I know the popular opinion among my friends in New York...
