Before you throw up your arms in disgust, hear me out.
There are several things that are staples in Central and Upstate New York - halfmoons, greens and tomato pie, hiking and camping the Adirondacks, cheering on the Orangemen, running the Boilermaker. Everyone rants and raves about it all; how great the food tastes or how fun the great outdoors is.
We were hanging out at the start line pumping up the crowd and getting all the runners excited. We snapped some great photos in the process! Do you recognize anyone in these photos?
Many people will be back in Utica this weekend for the first time in a while for the city's 45th running of the Boilermaker Road Race, and some new changes downtown will open some eyes, and probably get some people driving the wrong way.
Yes, everyone will have a day they just need to take off. These days are a little bit different, everyone in Utica should just have them off, to begin with.
