life and travels in Upstate New York
I shake my head and wonder what on earth is going on in Central New York. This is from fellow New York blogger, Strikeslip, at Fault Lines:
…the OD [Utica’s newspaper] notes that ‘Utica’ will be removed from the 2009 Boilermaker logo, and also seems to be lacking from the race’s website. Supposedly the organizers […]
Despite the fire at the FX Matt Brewery in Utica, NY, “Saranac Thursday,” a weekly summer-long event where the community drinks beer at the brewery, is going ahead full-throttle. It’s also being publicized like wildfire, so to speak. New York State’s governor visited Utica to show his support for the brewery rebuild.
However, CNY Snakepit has […]
I just got the book, Oneida Iroquois, Folklore, Myth, and History, by Anthony Wonderley, and it is amazing! I blogged about our journey to Oneida Castle to see the mysterious Skenandoah Boulder. I’ve decided to dig a little deeper about the Oneida Stone, apparently a huge stone that mysteriously moved to central New York State […]
Today’s photo hunt had me floored for a while. Get it? Floored? YUK YUK YUK YUK!!
OK, well, I was mighty stumped. Had NO IDEA what to do. I’m not a “shoe” person, either. My husband had to drag me to a shoe store recently and forced me to buy sneakers, because I only had a […]
We’ve been by it countless times. Every time we zip by it, we grab a fleeting glimpse and wonder aloud to each other what is etched on it, what is it’s significance, and why it is there. Today I finally got to get up very close and snap a photo of the words written on […]
I often check my blog stats, and am amazed at what search engines find here. Some things that people search for are real doozies, as we call them in Upstate NY. Tonight I was shocked to get a hit by someone searching for “utica ny nuclear fallout”! Whoa! They happened to get my post about […]
See Part One of our visit to the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse. This is Part Two.
After pulling the children off the packet boat and into the Museum, we wandered around the halls. There was a great deal to see and explore, and I wanted to soak it all in. From the packet boat […]
Over Spring Break, we Mecombers got a great opportunity to visit our local Upstate newspaper organization, the Observer-Dispatch, in Utica. It was an enlightening visit, and the folks at the OD gave us a wonderful tour.
The building, a beautiful structure built in the early 1900s, seems like a fortress on an island in the […]
I didn’t travel out to the Old Main in Utica– not this time. I’ve been past the building a few times, and have walked the grounds when we visited an acquaintance of my husband’s, who was attending an alcohol treatment program there. That was fifteen years ago. I thought I had taken photographs then, as […]
April is almost here (yeah, right) in Upstate New York! No, actually April seems like a million miles away…. but it’s never too early to plan for the official Utica Riggie Fest! The Hotel Utica has a traveler’s package running right now. They call it the “Epicurean Escape.” It looks like a real “feed your […]
