Saranac Thursdays and UPD, City of Utica

If you put the pieces of the puzzle together you get the true picture why the City of Utica endorses
the type of activity that results from Saranac Thursdays. What type of activity you ask, well let me begin to start with promoting a area that pumps alcohol into people who are known to drink and drive, yes the bar owners have no idea because of the flood of party goers from the event mentioned above. I love the Brewery and I believe in free enterprise and know the bar owners mean well and are there for entertainment purposes and good food only. The amount of arrest that occur after the event are great for the City of Utica and the Utica Police Department and keep our City running. But this is not a way to generate revenue for the City. We need to make our area more business friendly, The County Legislators that continue to keep the sales tax at the current rate that only was intended to be temporary don't help the equation either.
Where are the family friendly activities that the City endorces that don't include alcohol?
Do you know let our readers know they would appreciate it.
