West Utica: Our Loving Memories - Paperback

by W. G. Davis (Author)

Utica is known for its diverse cultures and ethnic neighborhoods strewn out across the city.

In the 50s, 60s, and 70s many will say was the true booming era for this small upstate city.

Manufacturing jobs and small family-owned businesses were a common sight throughout the city.

West Utica was probably the most diverse part of the city with its manufacturing and family-owned businesses on almost every corner.

Sadly today's Utica is nothing like the Utica of yesterday. Buildings stand vacant and if you drive down the streets you see empty storefronts and abandoned factories.

You see empty lots that were once family homes.

In the pages of this book, we will take you back to the west Utica of our childhoods. We'll spend the day at the Highland Theater or take a trip down Columbia Street for a drink or two with our friends. We'll reminisce about the people and places that made west Utica a great memory.

And we will even share some amazing family secrets on how to make some of the delicious foods that we all grew up on.

So now you can sit back and eat some good old west Utica food and reminisce on some good old west Utica memories.
Enjoy the journey through west Utica the way we remember it from yesterday.
