New concert venue to open in a Central NY village this summer

James VanDeuson and his partner Rebecca Girouard searched far and wide for a place to see live music on the weekends. Over the past five years the duo built their lives around music as they trekked across the country on tour with their indie/folk band, The Rollin’ Rust. But when it came to living in Manlius, the two couldn’t find a nearby venue. So when an office space opened up below their apartment five months ago, The Rollin’ Rust Room was born.

On average, runners need a new pair of shoes every 300-500 miles – which isn’t a lot for avid runners. Meanwhile, a nice running shoe can cost around $100-$200 (or more these days).

After walking through the windiest and coldest of days in Iceland, Sky Lagoon is a graceful juxtaposition
