r/Utica

I’m 21 and work full-time while going to school full-time, so evenings and weekends are best. I’m more introverted and not really into bars, clubs, or partying. I like yoga, reading, theater/musicals, coffee shops, board games, and volunteering. I’m mostly looking for places where people in their early to mid 20s naturally socialize and it’s actually possible to make friends. Any recurring groups, classes, or events you’d recommend? Bonus points if you’ve personally met people there

New to the area, looking for a good gym. Friend of mine told me about the fitness mill but i also like the old school vibe of upstate empire fitness. Thoughts? Will try both obviously but any input appreciated

I'm at Verona Beach now at it kinda sucks. Everyone in my family raved about this place but it sucks. I usually go to Glimmerglass but I want to try something different. The beachline here is small, they only have the shallow end open. I'm pretty tall so I walked to the end of the shallow area and I didn't even get my shorts wet. Is it just because it's a weekday? But still many people including myself have today off because of the holiday. My first red flag was how empty the parking lot is.

Should I just go up the street to Sylvan Beach? Is it worth it?

anything good in or around utica? i don't mind like a 30 min drive either

2022 Ford Maverick with paint-rust issues in the hood and roof. I need a local guy who won't over charge and does quality work.

Dm or post here!

The heat today has me thinking pools all day; anywhere near Utica that you’d recommend? Preferably not super crowded, but I’m not really sure what’s out there.

I earn too little right now working retail; I need to step it up to a more serious career. Either blue collar or white collar. I have my OSHA 10, high school diploma, and a welding certificate. Please let me know where is hiring
Thank you

Okay, as a lifelong Oneida County resident. Where the heck is the viewing party for the Bosnia v. USA match Wednesday night at 8? There's such a huge Bosnian community, is this just being hidden from the general public?

For those that want to support the American team, anything bigger than a local bar? Is anyone putting up a projector and showing this outside or a large area?

So back in the day ('80s '90s) there used to be this Mr. Slushie thing at the local nice and easy's. Am I tripping or was there some weird dog, white dog type thing for a logo? I can't find it. I'm trying to prove to my family I'm not crazy. Please help me out.

The Boilermaker is sold out, and my son decided he hates training alone, so we have an extra. Anyone need one?

Just an FYI: This weekend (June 27th and 28th) you do not need a fishing license in order to fish. You of course still have to follow the regulations. If you have any questions feel free to ask here or at r/FishingNY.
