Ventura's... last time I was there was for a reception after a funeral (and my last time to Utica)
My favorite when I visit now is the Chesterfield.

ROFL. Here we go again. I think we have wandered from Utica politics to the food blogs somewhere along the line. Gotta love it.  ........and just who started it? ;D   |

I'd rather do a food blog than Utica politics any day. Nothing seems to have changed for the better since I left. Still the same old same old except different names.

You're right about that, Chris. Plus throw a bunch of egotistical wanna-bes in the mix now.  |

Corner started it when he started talking about East Utica and "Sangwiches." He made me both hungry and homesick, ROFL. |

My grandmother called them sangwiches to, and she was French Canadian, but I think it was an East Utica term, because my dad was brought up on Lansing St and Blandina St until he was a sophomore in high school. He went to St Agnes for grammar school.

Did you ever notice how so many Uticans can't say "Rutger" correctly? It's always, "Ructer".

Utica has a dialect all it's own, and I miss it every day. Every locale has it little quirks in speech, and Utica is no exception. Around here, a sandwich is often called a "sammich" or "sammidge".

I may have made brush a little too broad in order to take a cheap shot (Yes I know that's a mixed metaphor, I hope it's not also "white hot political rhetoric." ) If for some reason Mr. Palmiri reads this I apoligise, I think he may have damaged his political future by participating too long in the current city hall circus. He may have better served his own interests if he had left a year ago on his own terms. But hey, it's Utica, who knows. bob has neverquit a job he usually manages to get himself fired from every job hes held some people may have liked him as weed and seed coordinator but it was essentially a powerless position he is /was not /ever qualified by either education or experience for any job he held with the city merely a political hack being rewarded by 2 mayors for not running for mayor bobs claim to fame since high school has been as a salesman for various local companies all of which eventually fired him. There are many in Utica who keep getting fired. Maybe they should look at themselves as the common denominator. |

It still tweaks me every time I hear them mention Rob as the Weed & Seed Coordinator.
He was never the Coordinator, he was simply the liaison between the program and the UPD.
'scuse me....I have a twitch now. Damn@!
