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…

Student loan debt has reached an all-time high, only second to mortgages.

Two casinos in New York have made a list of the Top Ten casinos in the U.S. outside of Las Vegas.

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...

I mean, I guess this is fitting news since Halloween is coming up.  And this seems like something straight out of a horror movie.
This is just straight up bizarre to me though.  In fact, I actually clicked the news link thinking it was a joke...

It's not the first time the Capital Region has landed on this list, but still, yikes.
And of course, when I read this news, I automatically started listening to "Rats" by Ghost, so at least there's a good rock song to go with it.  According to a recent list that CNY Central reported on, the…

One of the most notorious jail complexes in New York is going to be closing.
In a vote that passed 36-13, one of New York's most infamous places will be shutting down by 2026.  As reported by the Times Union, Rikers Island Jail Complex will be shut down and replaced by four smalle…

Talk about an easy way to make an extra $1000 - if you like Disney, that is.
Disney+ wants to hire people to watch Disney movies.  Yup.  For the Disney fans, this could be a dream come true.  I mean, for those stone-faced Wednesday Addams out there, this could be torture (not knocking,…

Yesterday was World Mental Health Day and musicians and music organizations had a huge presence in taking part.
