Since Jon so politely invited my opinion on Utica.
It is a worthless shithole. People, for the most part, are equally worthless. And the drivers are terrible, mainly because everyone's got a shitbox. Part of the problem is that every time there's construction, they don't replace some of the stupid signs they take down. Important stuff, like a Yield sign that's been missing for 4 goddamn years at the walmart-49 intersection. I have almost gotten hit there in every one of my cars. I had someone block me in a parking spot and threaten me for 'cutting him off', when a yield for his lane was removed.
In short, Utica is good beacuse
-The 'baddies' are either too broke or too lazy to have a gun.
-I felt like an intellectual god while there.
Utica is bad for everything else.
