NY: Buffalo-Utica

WE made it! I delivered Jenna North to her new home, in Utica, NY. This pic was taken out front of the Munson Williams Museum.

Before arriving in Utica, we were faced with one more obstacle, Buffalo NY. This pic was taken after a rainstorm hit Buffalo, out front of the liquor store (that sold a limited line of liquor behind a glass window) that let us use their bathroom. We were waiting in the rain for my cousin to arrive home and walked to the nearest business. Not sure if you’ve visited Buffalo but there are some real sketchy neighborhoods and this section of Main Street that we walked to, was one of them.

But, he (my cousin David Mitchell) showed us a good time by taking us to the world famous wing shop, Anchor Bar. Thanks David.

One thing I miss about Upstate NY are the puffy clouds. And if you’re ever in Utica, NY, stop into Tiny’s (Blues Brothers greet you at the entrance). They serve up a good hearty homemade lunch/dinner and have live jazz there on the weekend and it’s only a couple blocks away from the MWPI campus.

Well, Jenna North, may you thrive in your new environment, learn as you teach and keep being you.
