If you check the lists on the side bar to the left you will notice that slowly but surely more blog links are being added. These represent just a fraction of the blogs that I actually check in on from time to time but I'm particularly excited by the blogs being written in upstate New York.
One of my newest finds is York Staters. This is a group blog about life and culture in upstate New York--but at least one author is based in Fayetteville. This blog is all about identifying and celebrating the indentity of upstate. But you gotta check out their new series on Tastes of the Region. I won't tell you the food they wrote about but we Central New Yorkers will certainly have some opinions--check it out!
Thanks for giving us a shout. I was just reading your post about our hometown supermarkets (P&C, Price Chopper, Wegmans) yesterday!
I've been thinking a lot about the role of Wegmans in my own life in ways that are completely unrelated to food: a sense of place, a sense of home, a sense of community. I'm trying to compile an ode to Wegmans. Any thoughts?

Hey Natalie--thanks for stopping by! You may be able to tell my mixed feelings about Wegmans but the one thing I cannot deny is that it is a meeting place and community center for Dewitt and Syracuse. Indeed, when I did an internship at a local church nine years ago, Wegmans was a bit of a "second coffee hour" because folks would have lunch at the Market Cafe before going food shopping for the week. In addition, I've had many a meeting over lunch there.
The size and comprehensiveness of Wegmans does fill a void that has not or no longer exists in Dewitt--that of a town commons where you can run into people, have an impromptu cup of coffee and run errands all under shelter from the weather.
I look forward to reading your ode!

I should give it a try.
