Cousins Paul and Dan Fronhofer, owners of Grey Ghost Bicycles, hope to relocate their Glens Falls bike shop to Lawrence Street by early June.
The shop, currently located in a leased space on Glen Street, will be moved to the former Post Star advertising office building. The men purchased the two-story, 10,000-square-foot building from Elizabeth Miller, owner of Miller Mechanical, in February.
Glens Falls Hospital has added a second Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system on its main campus, providing improved access to this important diagnostic service, particularly for people in need of outpatient testing.
The MRI system, conveniently located in the Pruyn Pavilion at Glens Falls Hospital, will be primarily used for outpatient care. Appointments are now available for the ‘MRI at Pruyn’.

Having experienced showering outdoors, Ted Beyer is ready to build stalls for other people through his new side business, Sunnyside Outdoor Shower LLC in Queensbury.
He got the idea from Cape Cod and Maine beach houses, which commonly have an outdoor shower for people to wash off before coming inside, leaving behind mud, sand and salt. He said he thought about it last summer and set up the business over the winter. He has a few unassembled showers waiting in his garage.
He builds the showers in five pieces—four walls and a floor—in his garage and can set them up in a few hours at a customer’s site. They are built of cedar, purchased from Northern Hardwoods in Lake George, and “smell great,” he said.
