What’s Going on With the New York Mets and Carlos Correa?
In all my years as a baseball fan, I've never seen anything quite like the saga of the New York Mets and Carlos Correa's seemingly infinite free agency. A week ago, Carlos Correa was set to sign with the San Francisco Giants on a massive 13 year, $350 million deal. And at the last minute, the Giants had second thoughts regarding the star shortstop's medicals.

This City In New York Is Older Than The State Itself
At times, I wonder why I didn't become a history teacher. I love history. There is so much to learn about the history of, well just about everything, but for me more specifically the history of the United States and geography. Did you know that the City of Binghamton became...
Winter Storms in New York Bring Risk of Carbon Monoxide Deaths
A historic “bomb cyclone is set to hit much of New York where temperatures on Christmas Day will be more brutally cold than they’ve been in years. Although many think the alarm that has been sounded over this storm is a bit of overkill, the reality is that a bomb cyclone, arctic blasts, and other brutal winter weather can lead to deadly actions.
Are Packing Peanuts Really Illegal in New York?
She’s going to kill me for telling you this, but this is the story of a family member who got a tongue lashing for something she sent me in the mail. I come from a family of some impressively thrifty women who are also pros at saving and recycling just about everything. So, it was really no surprise to me when I received a gift in the mail from a family member and when I opened the box, a load of yellowed packing peanuts fell out.

How Will You Be Spending New Year’s Eve?
It's the biggest party time of the year. Well, for me it used to be. Going out to the most popular nightclub in town, ringing in the new year with friends and co-workers (we were mostly working at the bar with a huge promotion on New Year's Eve), and staying until we were kicked out at 3 am.

What Is Your Favorite Movie Of All Time?

Travel Writer Picks His Top 5 Upstate New York Christmas Towns
Beautiful Christmas towns and villages (and cities) are everywhere in our beloved Upstate New York region. As a travel writer with a dozen Upstate New York books currently on the shelves, I feel that I have been pretty much everywhere in the region. But of course, that cannot be. I am sure there are little towns, hamlets, and villages all over that I have missed in my many miles of travel, research, writing, and speaking. Maybe I will find them in 2023!
Are Upstate New York Walmart Stores Open On Christmas Eve?

Ah, winter has arrived. The Almanac website states that "The first day of winter in the Northern Hemisphere is marked by the winter solstice, which occurs on Wednesday, December 21, 2022, at 4:48 P.M. EST." I'm so excited. Well, not really. Of the four seasons, this is the one I...
One Third Of New York State Men Wait Until Christmas Eve To Shop
Holiday shopping. You either love it or hate it. It's not that I hate it, but I sometimes feel pressure to find those perfect gifts. Maybe I'm just trying too hard. I suppose waiting until the last minute to show for Christmas gifts doesn't help either. My wife had her Christmas shopping done a couple of months ago.
14 Exquisite Gourmet Cheese Shops in Upstate New York
Cheese production is a big business in Upstate New York. In fact, the Empire State is the fifth largest cheese-producing state in the US (Wisconsin is #1 of course). What many don't know is that New York actually used to be one of the most dominant states in terms of cheese-making in the country. That was about 150 years back at this point. But there are still tons of delicious cheeses being produced in our state and we want to show them off.

When all was said and done, Boris the Skeleton had collected about $1,800 in donations for St. Jude.
Think Binghamton is Cold? Here’s the Coldest Place in New York State
Binghamton residents are no strangers to the brutal upstate weather, but the Southern Tier isn't the coldest place in all of New York State. According to a report by Colby Maxwell of AZ Animals, and much to my surprise, Binghamton is not actually the coldest place in New York. In fact, it's nowhere near the Southern Tier or Western New York.
