    I spent my very early years in Utica, New York. I was too young to know anything about the city’s reputation — I left when I was 8 — but I would later learn that it was known at the time as “Crime City,” because it was reportedly controlled by the Mob. Stories of towns infiltrated by organized crime or ruled by blatantly corrupt politicians used to be fairly common.

OK, I’m not impartial on this issue.

Given the circumstances, I was entirely justified in using a bad word. But by gosh and heavens to Betsy, I’ll try to be a bit more decorous today. So here goes.

For anyone interested, kind of fun event on decayed industry and what comes next. NOT about the election, except insofar as it affects regional policy https://t.co/xZnxR9IHy3
