June 28, 2019 Contributor

I think insurance companies should include in their coverage “mental health day.” So for instance “X” number of days not to exceed a certain monetary amount. We all need days away from the “everyday.” It might even save them money in the long-run.

June 21, 2019 Contributor

We Central New Yorkers are fortunate because we have the opportunity for many great day trips including ones to Canada. Getting to Kingston is half the fun. I like taking the ferry from Cape Vincent to Wolfe Island. The ride is only 10 minutes; the ferry runs frequently until mid-October and has been family-owned for more than 200 years.

Sandra Scott Travels: Around The World One Restaurant At A Time

May 31, 2019 Contributor

Portland may not be where the food truck culture started, but the food trucks have taken it by storm. One nice thing about a food truck caravan is that everyone can have what they like. I picked gyros, but there was soul food, mac and cheese, hamburgers and more. Some do so well they open up small restaurants.
