the country.. and a bit of an exaggeration

No matter how many times you say it, how you say it, and when you say it, if you say that your from Utica, you'll get laughed at. I mean sure, we walk around barefoot, it's all farm country, we're 20 minutes away from any type of civilization, and pretty much everyone has milked a cow. But, there are some pretty awesome things about living there/here too. My youngest older brother, Matt, goes to college at U of L and lives right in the heart of the city. During his childhood, he'd always be camping, traveling abroad, sailing, anything and everything outdoors. After living in the city for 2 years though, he said he misses the little things. Everytime that he comes home, he goes outside during the night and just walks around. I guess it's because you can't walk around at night in Louisville because you'll probably end up mugged. This is a great thing! Not the being mugged part, but being able to walk arund at night, and not have to worry about your safety. Welcome to Utica. The only thing you have to watch out for is tractors.
