Gyms have started to reopen here in the Capital Region, but this week, you can add some rock climbing in there as well. The Edge in Halfmoon is re-opening as of today, and offering day passes.  There are restrictions, just like anywhere to accommodate for COVID-19 requirements...

Get your fair food fix this weekend!  Labor Day is upon you, and so is the Schaghticoke Fair Food Take Out Week. Starting yesterday through the holiday on the 7th, you can head to the Schaghticoke Fairgrounds and get your fried dough, cotton candy, apple cider donut fix...

The pandemic can't technically stop you from celebrating the holidays, but it is already stopping some holiday celebrations. The Polar Express out of Utica will be docked this year, not running due to the Coronavirus pandemic.  According to a post by newyorkupstate...

I'm pretty sure Dave Grohl is always up for a challenge.  Not that I know the guy.  But really, from touring in a cast on a throne, to a drum off with a 10-year-old, the guy knows no bounds. The drum off with a 10-year-old is the most recent of his escapades, a challenge he accepted after it was thrown out by Nandi Bushell, 10-year-old drummer...

A new month, a new chance to binge watch television.  Especially as the weather starts to get chillier, and this pandemic stuff continues. A number of new series are coming to Netflix in the month of September, some which look pretty interesting...

Leave it to Wendy's and McDonald's to provide some comic relief in 2020. This year's been crazy, so any kind of humor (in my opinion) is appreciated.  Who knew it would come in the form of a new food item on McDonald's menu. I recently read that McDonald's is debuting a new spicy chicken nugget, along with a new Chips Ahoy McFlurry...

So, what's going on with the Crossgates Best Buy?  Anyone? I haven't driven by Crossgates yet to check it out.  I initially read a headline by the Times Union made it dramatically sound like Best Buy is closed for good.  And look, who knows- with all the events of 2020 and economic circumstances- it very well may happen eventually (as much as I hate to say that about any store)...

This week, New Yorkers will get to see bowling alleys re-open and guidelines released about the possible re-opening of fitness centers. Little by little, New York is (kind of) starting to go back to normal.  Sure, travel is restricted, there's no big concerns, businesses remain closed...

The 9th Annual Fallen Officers Memorial Ride will be happening August 29th, this year honoring Detective Sergeant Randall French. As Blue Friday is focused on law enforcement, of course he will be honored as Detective Sergeant Randall French of the Troy Police Department...

This pandemic has not been an easy one to handle, particularly for event and music venues.  And one local spot in Albany is up for sale. The Fuze Box is up for sale.  According to what I read on the Times Union, the building- full of musical history- is listed at $244,900 (in case you're interested)...

Another day, another update to the New York Covid-19 quarantine travel list.  Well, actually I think the more formal name is the 'travel advisory list'. Either way, there's updates.  It seems hard to keep up with since each day it seems like something is changing...

Free Coffee Mondays are back at Dunkin' Donuts.  So are Free Donut Fridays. It's August, so officially you can get extra perks at Dunkin' Donuts with your morning stop.  Starting this week, Mondays and Fridays are getting better with free coffees on Mondays and free donuts on Fridays...
