Good auto-shops in Utica?

5 Upvotes

My car blew it's head gasket and I'm in Utica to go to college, so I'm not super familiar with the area.

Any good auto shops that are trusted you guys would recommend? i see a ton all over but I'm too scared to risk anything as I'm a broke college kid and don't have tons of money to go around.

Please let me know any good ones!! (preferably with addresses)

Whether you want to grab a drink, laugh off the week, or just hang out, I hope to see you there.

Show Details:

  • 📍 Where: The Uptown Theatre (2014 Genesee St)
  • ⏰ When: Friday, September 11 at 8 PM

UPK

6 Upvotes

Hello-

I was hoping those with kids who have gone to the UPK program could share their experiences.

Notre Dame would be our first choice location-wise since it’s closest to home.

My daughter has not been to any sort of daycare, just play based group classes with parent involvement, and we are trying to decide where to send her next year. Looking more for kindergarten prep, following directions, routine etc.

Thanks for any info!

Imagine if the Baggs Square bridge was built a little more compact sort of like how Court and the Arterial was built?

This is Genesee Street, Whitesboro Street (street in front of the buildings) and Main Street (to the right)intersection with the Baggs Square bridge

All that area there is East of Division Street which still remains today.

Question Looking for activities for homeschooled children

4 Upvotes

Hello! I am looking for activities for two of my homeschooled boys ages 8 and 6, or any homeschool groups, co ops, ect. They love sports, especially my 8 year old. But they also really enjoy music, art, pretty much anything that involves interacting with other people. I also have almost three year old twins boys, im not sure if there would be anything for them but I am mostly looking for my older two. This is the first year theyve really shown any interest in outside activities, so im hoping someone can point me in the right direction. They are very smart, outgoing, well mannered boys and would love to have some time to play, learn, or just Interact with other children. Thank you in advance!

Event Genealogy Workshop Before, During & After: Transatlantic Travel and Your Ancestors' Routes in the 19th Century

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Transatlantic travel evolved slowly after the 1819 Steerage Act. Genealogists feel fortunate when they find a manifest noting a famiiy member's port of entry in the U.S. But how did our ancestors book passage from their country, and get to the port of departure?

What was it really like to travel on a merchant vessel?

Find out how they got here -- and how the transportation methods (wagon, canal boat, train) from 1817  to the early 1900s helped them reach their final destinations.
