The Mayor of the City Of Utica. Tim is also a very good friend
of Ed's. He's not your typical "stuffed shirt politician," he's an all round nice guy and concerned for his City
and it's residents.
Centrally located in New York State, Utica is a short drive from
Olympic class snow ski runs, major league sports, world class shows, hundreds of lakes and countless other activities. Great
shopping, friendly neighbors, the best restaurants anywhere and affordable costs of living make Utica a natural choice which
should be your first choice when selecting a new home for your family and/or business.

Forest Hill Cemetery. Well known names of Utica Families are buried
here, from the Munson's, the William's, to the Proctor's. We even have a United States Vice President buried here.

A change of pace from the usual McDonald's that you see in your hometowns.
We do have the traditional looking ones, but this is a nostalgic look back at the 1950's style McDonald's. I'm
surprised they don't have waitresses on roller skates.
Another nostalgic look back at a 1950's McDonald's, complete with

As one of the few remaining great American
regional breweries, the Matt Brewing Company has prospered at the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in Central New York

The Utica Zoo has served the region for over 80 years.
Located in Roscoe Conkling Park, the zoo is part of a recreational complex made possible by the donation of land from Thomas
R. Proctor in 1909. The zoo has grown from its small beginnings with three fallow deer to its present collection of 200 animals.
Of the 80 acres of land set aside for the zoo' s use, 30 are presently developed.
The zoo property is owned by the City of Utica,
and, until 1964, was operated by the Parks Department. In order to ensure the Utica Zoo' s continued existence, the Utica
Zoological Society assumed management of the facility in 1964. The opening of the Children' s Zoo in 1967 was officiated by
Marlin Perkins.

The Val
Bialas Recreation Center, which is located on the Memorial Parkway, is believed to operate the only t-bar and chairlift
within city limits in the country. The winter sports complex, within the city's Roscoe Conkling Park, has a 400-foot hill
with lights for evening alpine skiing; cross-country trails and an ice skating rink. The area also is popular for sledding.
In warmer weather, tennis courts offer instruction. The center is named after ice skater Valentine Bialas who brought fame
to the area by competing in three Winter Olympic Games: 1924 at Chamonix, France; 1928 in St. Moritz, Switzerland, and 1932
in Lake Placid. He also qualified in 1936 for Olympic competition in Garmisch, Germany, but had to withdraw because he lost
a leg in a railway accident. Yet, he continued to compete with an artificial leg.
