Dancy's Corner: August 2014

http://dancyscorner.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 25, 2014. Ferguson is just a Reminder. But I am Human. I feel a perpetual dread regarding our current justice system and its scripted role in Urban America. The past few years I have documented a growing disregard for personal freedom and a willingness on our part to accept these intrusions as normal. I see victims lying in the street, or military Police as the final result of these sinister preparations. The thing is , those tactics would have worked if it wasn't for the provocateurs in t...

Dancy's Corner: May 2014

http://dancyscorner.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Monday, May 5, 2014. Rolling With The Citizens Express. It is very rare for the average citizen to get a chance to see their elected officials at work. On television we watch them pontificate on stage, wag their fingers and make huge promises to the people for their vote. That doesn't translate much; we rarely take them seriously and what they actually do is a mystery to most of us. Boy, was I wrong. Our scheduled departure was 7:45 from The North Utica Wal-Mart. Birnie Bus provided one of their best...

Dancy's Corner: November 2014

http://dancyscorner.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 28, 2014. The DEV : A Utica Alternative. With the closing(death) of The Electric Company on Varick St in 2012, Utica lost one of the few bars in Utica solely dedicated to music. Its obvious that all over Utica we have multiple choices if you just want to catch a game and have a few wings and beers. But if you want microbrews, 'down to earth' bartenders and a local band that is not playing Huey Lewis and The News covers you need a place like The DEV. The Owners, father and son team, Bill ...

Dancy's Corner: July 2014

Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Come Into Jamaica : Serving Up Authenticity. Come Into Jamaica Serves Up Authenticity. Okay, maybe I am exaggerating the importance of really good and covenient food but no one in the immediate neighborhood or anywhere else will complain about life after walking down the street and trying a out a few of the mouth watering dishes they have to offer. The humble Uticans on that block are Lucky People. A week before they opened I stopped in and chatted. "I can't wait" exclaimed ...

Dancy's Corner: Popeye's : I sold Out For Free Chicken.

http://dancyscorner.blogspot.com/2014/10/popeyes-i-sold-out-for-free-chicken.html

Tuesday, October 7, 2014. Popeye's : I sold Out For Free Chicken. Popeye’s Explodes Onto Oneida Square. In most cities it is not a big deal when a new fast food restaurant opens. In the history of Fast Food, thousands of new restaurants have opened; hundreds every year. Bunting, parades and ribbon cutting ceremonies are usually not part of the deal. It’s a Grand Opening, informal gatherings of new customers is expected but what happened on October 9. A The Chicken is free. B They are giving away Chicken.

Dancy's Corner: White (Airwaves) Noise

http://dancyscorner.blogspot.com/2014/09/white-airwaves-noise.html

Wednesday, September 24, 2014. How does a long struggling, underserved, marginalized group of people without financial or political clout get anything done in a city made up of 'haves' and 'have-nots'? People who have been maligned and unfairly targeted since they started appearing in sizable numbers sixty years ago. The former enjoying a privileged wealth of opportunity since they bought Manhattan with bright-beads and glass. Whether its print, radio or television, male or female, old or young does not ...

Dancy's Corner: March 2014

http://dancyscorner.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, March 26, 2014. Tired Iron: Forged to Win. All over America, at least once a year in elementary school the teacher will ask the children in class what they want to be when they grow up. Millions of kids raise their hands and yell out : "race car driver" or "astronaut","fireman" and even president. Aint gonna make it to the big leagues". As life goes, we rarely hit the bullseye when it comes to 'childhood dream job'. We all have something we do well and under the right circumstances we can hone...

Dancy's Corner: October 2014

Wednesday, October 29, 2014. AJ Foster: Honing His Craft. Some people feel 'right at home' on stage, performing. It does not matter what type; singing, dancing, drama or comedy. There are people who are soo good its hard to imagine they have to do anything else to make a living. Utica has a Comedian like that. The type of performer you can't imagine doing anything else. A young man from The Bronx New York that first called Utica home (2006) as a student at SUNY IT. AJ takes failure personal, to heart, on...

Dancy's Corner: April 2014

http://dancyscorner.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, April 30, 2014. We Already Know so Talk Amongst Yourselves. It took on a bigoted tone. Even more peculiar is the source of hatred.the television. The thing is, he didn't know she has a bi-racial grandson. He didn't know she loves Morgan Freeman. He didn't know she is a World Class Track Athlete. He did , however, know she is white. The level of comfort and almost mutual assumption that-. Or that it is acceptable /. This is just one awkward conversation. How many people have been turned away fr...
