Are you worried about your safety when coming into downtown Buffalo?  For many, the fear is real, and because of that, they avoid coming downtown or other places in the city.

I, for one, come downtown at 3:30 a.m. each weekday morning, and I'll be honest: I'm always prepared and always alert in case trouble may arise.  There is somewhat of a police presence, but that doesn't give much sense of security.

The "Star Spangled Banner", our country's national anthem.  Penned by Francis Scott Key back in 1812 during the War of 1812.  It's a beautiful song which has been sung by many, perfected by a few (of course, Whitney Houston) and butchered by a handful (namely, Roseanne Barr).  For me,  the "Star Spangled Banner" and "America The Beautiful" are the two best patriotic songs our country has.  If we were ever to switch national anthems...I'd hope it would be "America The Beautiful."  That finally brings me to the point of this post.  Vanity Fair/60 Minutes conducted a survey which asked participants ...Q- "If the country were to have a new national anthem...Who should write it?  The singer who was selected most frequently was....

Oreo?  Well, according to the latest Harris Poll EquiTrend survey, America's favorite cookie is the......

Yes, we've heard them all before.  Buffalo gets a......

New music rolls in to WYRK on a daily basis and a lot of the songs we're receiving as of late are "summer songs."  You know, songs that get ya ready for the hot weather, cold beer, beaches and concerts.  The latest one to fall into my hands is from Rodney Atkins and it's called "Just Wanna Rock 'N' Roll."  It's off his current album "Take A Back Road."  I will say that ....

Oh how we love our cell phones!  We take them everywhere we go.  They're like our little digital buddy.  We constantly check them throughout the day and even take them into the bathroom with us to keep busy.  What ever did they do on this earth before this glorious invention?  Any way...the topic of using cell phones at the dinner table came up the other morning, but the show as full.  Clay, Dale and I decided to ....

Are YOU addicted to your iPhone, Android or Blackberry?  If you say no, try leaving your phone at home for a few days.  How about one day?  I bet some of us can't even do that!  A new survey found that 66% of Americans polled say that they are afraid to be without their cell phone, even for the shortest amount of time.  Experts are calling this new affliction- "Nomophobia!"  It stands for .....

We've all had that moment. The one where it's time to say goodbye and you have to decide what the appropriate gesture is. Do you wave, give a firm handshake, or go for the awkward hug? I prefer the wave.  With this being National Hug Week , I thought I'd explore what makes hugs so awkward.
