In spite of the indisputable fact that we are currently in the season of Advent (NOT Christmas), I couldn’t resist the urge to share with you this silly song about the city where I began and continue much of my work on the street.

In it, you will find much local cuisine, including turkey joints, which are much more appetizing (and expensive) than they sound.  It would be a merry Christmas indeed if someone were to give me 7 jars of turkey joints.

Also, honorable mention is made of Rainbow, a colorful local character who is known and loved by all.  Friends from Boone, NC and Vancouver, BC will understand what I mean when I compare him to Joshua (Boone) and Ross (Vancouver).  You can’t have a sunny day in Utica without a Rainbow.
