I must have watched this one minute clip at least a 30 times - and perhaps there's an underworld inferno waiting for more somewhere -  but I cannot stop laughing at this. When I was a kid, our family spent many summers on this very boardwalk, riding rides at this very pier.  In...

"Every employer in New York State is required to provide employees with sexual harassment prevention training.'    That is one of the very first things you'll see in a  portion of the NY.Gov website that deals specifically with sexual harassment in the workplace...

The sites, the sounds, the smells, the demolition derby;  anyone else longing for the return of state and county fairs?  Well, you're not alone. We know how much people in the Capital Region love state and county fairs - it's part of our DNA.  Hopefully with a little good fortune, a few more months of vaccinations and the green light from the Gov., we might get back to the things we love; fried fo

Police officers in Rochester have been suspended after body camera video caught them mishandling a minor while responding to a 'family-trouble' call.   While officers attempted to deescalate the situation,  pepper spray and handcuffs were used on a 9-year-old girl after she apparently refused to comply with their orders.

Governor Cuomo's message on Tuesday was heard loud and clear by the entire state of New York, and we agree: It's time to bring back the arts.  Whether it be live music, the arts or a comedy show, the Governor announced on Tuesday what many had been speculating for days in regards to their return.   Not only did he talk about such events as a necessity for economic growth and stability, but he also

An area ski resort that suspended skiing on Tuesday over Covid related concerns announced that they will also shut down the slopes on Wednesday.  Hunter Mountain officials issued a statement on their Facebook page temporarily ceasing ski operations because ski patrollers were "out of work relating to Covid-19." It's unclear whether or not the the ski patrollers actually have Covid-19, or

A new year could bring a few more dollars to your bi-weekly paycheck. While most people already earn an hourly salary higher than the minimal requirements, something is better than nothing.  And for some in the Capital Region - who are at the lower end of the hourly wage scale -  the new year boost comes at a time when we all could use a little more bang for our buck.  The hope is that it doesn't

Last week before Thanksgiving, Andrew Cuomo told us "Don't be a turkey...nobody wants to be the turkey on Thanksgiving." If nothing else, it was another memorable way to remind us all to stay under his 10 person limit and to wear a mask.  It's along the same vein as his daily "Don't be stupid!" reminders. He doubled down on the turkey comments by showing up at one of his daily

We've some some extraordinary Halloween homes right here in the Capital Region, but this display in western New York is next level mastery.  The man who engineered this incredible mechanical spider that literally climbs down a gigantic web and hangs in front of his entire house, is a Halloween master.  It's so impressive that his work of art makes me want to travel to the Buffalo area to see it li

Thanksgiving is less than two months away and there's a pretty good chance you'll be doing a fair amount of traveling, shopping and gathering with friends and family.  In a year unlike any other, the CDC has listed specific guidelines that they claim will keep you and your family safe from COVID as the holidays approach.
