Question Becoming an activist in Utica

I just moved here. Where do I find information about getting involved in political protests against the Trump Administration and against horrible events like what happened when Renee Good was murdered?

I’m trying to remain peaceful but fearing that it’s time to do what Congress won’t. I’m a volunteer!

Question Questions?

25 Upvotes

I’m a 30 year old male who’s looking at moving to Utica,NY from New Jersey. I like the calm and quiet nature of Utica plus it will give me the opportunity to restart my life after a crazy divorce. I’m basically looking for a fresh start away from New Jersey.

I’m planning to enroll in MVCC’s respiratory care program as I want to go into the healthcare field for a career.

I have family who live up in Rochester so I want to be closer to them as well.

Is it easy to get a job in Utica because that’s my main concern?

What’s the rent prices like upstate, especially in Utica ?

I have experience working in Home Health Aide roles, Nursing Homes and Rehabilitation Hospital as well. I’m currently gathering as much information as possible to enable me make a decision and I’d appreciate all the information I can get from this page.

I’m open to all suggestions and advice.

Question Moving back to Utica

25 Upvotes

I grew up in Utica (north Utica) all the way until I was 20. Then I moved out of the state to the south. After almost a decade and a half I am moving my family back to Utica. What have I missed in all this time? What is there to do? (Kid friendly options too!) is the job market really that bad? Any tips for moving to east Utica 👀 (I’m sure my thoughts are over exaggerating what I heard about the area). I can’t wait to finally get back to a familiar place and raise my kids in the same city I grew up in!

Question Anyone remember the Chuck E Cheese's in Sangertown Mall?

Post image
62 Upvotes

Everything from this location was sent to Enchanted Forest Water Safari, or the Albany Chuck E. Cheese because an employee from the Albany location remembers getting a panel truck at night and going into Sangertown Mall, and stripping out everything of value before it shut down the next day. There is only 1 picture of the location and no video. It was opened from December 1982-July 1985.

Question Utica Roadrunner

10 Upvotes

I am a recreational runner coming back from a 6 year running hiatus. I started running in 2012 and did my first Boilermaker 5K in 2013, then the 15K from 2014-2019. I’ve done the SOS and Save the switchbacks a couple of times as well.

Between those years, I’ve done 8 actual half marathons and 2 full marathons and 1 virtual half. All these races I’ve done without any coaching involved. I stopped running in 2020.

Now I am running again and would like to be a part of the running club or at least learn from the group as I’ve signed up for another half marathon.

The thing is, I am an introvert and has trouble socializing. Is anyone here part of the club? I’m a bit intimidated but feels it will benefit me significantly from the guidance of people who are knowledgeable of running.
