The feature-length documentary film, "The City That God Forgot" is finished!

Hello, this is Joe Hill! I'm an 18 year old local filmmaker, and I made an announcement a few months back talking about my recent documentary film, "The City That God Forgot", a documentary film about Utica and its incredibly strong and diverse community and extensive history! Well, . . . it's finally finished! I finished it in early May and right now I am burning DVDs for it with the intent to sell them to people within the community who are interested in watching it! They will be five dollars so that everyone can be able to buy one and I still make a little bit of profit in return! I love Utica, and I am excited to show the community the documentary! I will post dates, times and places that I will be selling very soon, but until then I love you all! Thank you very much for making this happen! We'll keep in touch most definitely!

Place to meet people

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

Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Looking to see if anyone has a firm evaluation on this item. From what I can tell, it’s a vintage tin beer sign from the 30s.

I’ve had offers of 100 150 and 200 but looking to see if it’s worth more before I sell

Best gym?

Which is better for sandy beach front/swimming area Sylvan Beach or Verona Beach?

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?

Pools/Swimming?

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.

World Cup Viewing Bosnia v. USA

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?

Mr. Slushie

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.

Here's a sneak peek of the Visions of Utica painting collection that opens tomorrow at the Oneida County History Center. I am unsure of a few of the locations, and hopefully the rest get figured out.
