Some raspberry facts in honor of the diner, while berry is in the name, raspberries are actually caneberries and are not true berries. Botanically speaking, berries are fruits that come from a single ovary. Raspberries are an aggregate, coming from a single flower with anywhere from 50 to 150 ovaries, each making a separate small drupelet. And here's a fun fact about Denny's, it's not named after a founder! In 1953, the Denny's lore: In 1953, Denny’s founders Harold Butler and Richard Jezak opened up a coffee-and-doughnut shop in Lakewood, California called Danny’s Donuts, and worked to open multiple locations over the next several years! The name “Danny,” meanwhile, held no real significance for either Butler or Jezak. They picked it simply because it was popular, and neither founder had any relatives or acquaintances in mind when they chose it. After Jezak left the business, this concept eventually became restaurants that sold burgers alongside coffee and breakfast, called Denny's Coffee Shops in 1959, then by 1961, dropped Coffee Shops!

[@avibarr2751]

Now that is a fun fact

I go to school in Clinton NY at Hamilton College just outside of Utica. Did you know that there actually used to be a tram that went all the way out to Clinton from Utica? Then the city kinda died and now it's gone, but there are days when I wished it was still around.

[@jesuschrist7444]

Raspberry's is actually in New Hartford, NY. That's the New Hartford Shopping Center across the road from you, where you saw Panera and what not. If you want to eat at an actual diner in Utica, there's one inside the Amtrak Train Station in Downtown Utica.

LEFTIES RISE UP! From what I found, the Boston Store you showed at 1:49 was a department store that first opened in 1918 as the Leader Store at Franklin Square, renamed the Boston Store, then they tore down the Arcade Building and built a larger 90,000 square feet store in the 1940s, expanded twice in the 1960s, then closed in December 1976 when its parent went bankrupt. In August 1984, the store was reopened as One-Thirty-One Boston Place, but by December, it was closed once more. Today, it's an independent living center. Love the architecture of that McDonald's in the intro, it's a cool modern version of a vintage McDonald's, and McDonald's got its logo from those giant golden arches of its old restaurants! One of my favorite McDonald's locations is one inside a 1860s Georgian-style mansion in New Hyde Park on Long Island! The house was first built in 1795 but when McDonald's wanted to demolish it and build a drive-thru, the locals fought back and sought historic designation, with McDonald's being allowed to have a drive-thru if they restored the building to its former glory! And Frederick Law Olmsted Jr (born on Staten Island) who designed that parkway in Utica had a lifetime commitment to national parks, and worked on projects in Acadia, the Everglades and Yosemite National Park! He was the one who filled in for his father Olmsted Sr. on the Park Improvement Commission for DC beginning in 1901, and by contributing to the famous McMillan Commission Plan for redesigning DC according to a revised version of the original L’Enfant plan, thus leading to the National Mall, Jefferson Memorial, White House grounds, and Rock Creek Park! As for his father, in the course of his career, Olmsted Sr. designed 100 public parks and recreation grounds, ranging from the iconic Central Park in Manhattan and Prospect Park in Brooklyn to Niagara Falls State Park (originally called the Niagara Reservation, the US's first state park), Branch Brook Park in Newark (the US's first county park), the Emerald Necklace in Boston, Jackson Park in Chicago, and the park systems of Louisville, Rochester and Buffalo!

You can always trust Avery for the random facts 🫡🫡🫡

Before that Olmy was a journalist. He toured the U.S. South for one thing, and had strong opinions of the various cities he visited, and on the society. I recall one city he did not like at all, and one he found decent, but I don’t remember which was which so (stops).

[@MilesinTransit]

Ah, good context on Boston Store, thanks!

Friendly's closed a lot of its stores. There are several still open over several states. I'm shocked the location you passed still has it's sign up.

When I visited the diner in the actual 70's, the decor was true 70's, globe lights, naugahyde, the decor you saw is retro look, but not original. They had to redo everything when smoking was banned. The one trye 50's diner is in Herkimer. Crazy Otto's, originally the Empire diner. The Boston Store was the original department store downtown, along with Woolworths and Neisners. Till the Riverside mall put them out of business.

[@edwardapier]

My mother used to take my brother and I shooping at the Boston Store. It had an elevator with a human elevator operator. The only part of the store us kids found interesting was the "book nook" which was this little alcove elevated above the ground floor.

[@sfdko3291]

I like how they chose to sit next to the only two other people at the restaurant while they spoke loudly lmaoooo

As mentioned in the Wikipedia page for Utica University, the State Board of Regents dropped the doctoral requirement for University status in NYS back in January of '22.

Utica has a fairly impressive bus station for a small town. The only problem is that the bus doesn’t run on Sundays. So if you don’t own a car then you’re screwed.

[@TheMunkege]

My favorite part of this is that the best diner in Utica is Craylees and its 3 blocks from the hub. Roosters and Golden's are just down Genesse street.

[@SabastianHassler]

i grew up in upstate NY. Since youre already in Utica, head over to Herkimer, NY and check out Crazy Ottos Empire Diner. Its an original 1952 Mountainview diner with all the cool aesthetics from the 50s! And only about 30 minutes away!

[@MilesinTransit]

Yeah, that one looks incredible. We weren't able to visit on this trip, unfortunately!

[@NickBurman]

Fun fact: that bit of street running you crossed on the bus is the former Delaware Lackawanna & Western's (later Erie-Lackawanna, then Conrail) Binghamton to Utica line, now operated by the Susquehanna. Today it's quite a sleepy line and the middle section is OOS (or was - NY DOT gave the Susy-Q a harsh rap in their knuckles for not running trains on a line they paid to be rehabed) but in the late 19th and early 20th century it was very busy, especially with anthracite moving north. If you want to have an idea of how what running trains over that line (and what it was to be a railroader) in that period was like, get a copy of Joseph Bromley's "Clear the Tracks! Story of an Old Time Locomotive Engineer" - a very enjoyable read.

[@IVR02]

I like that you gave the diner a breakdown and score in the same fashion as the Philly and Boston diner videos. Made it feel like it slid right in with them. Also, again, probably oversharing here, but I also ended up diner-ing for breakfast on the morning of the eclipse. My friend and I ate at the Sherburne Diner in Sherburne, NY, and I almost took a page out of your book and got French toast, but ended up getting eggs and sausage instead. It was definitely a cozy little place to get breakfast in advance of a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Nice! Based on the Google photos, I have to say their cinnamon French toast also looks very good.

[@trainandmore]

I never understood street stations, like I would have to wait for the crosswalk signal to cross the street to get the bus. But if the bus is late, I’d miss my connection, at least with a station platform , I could in theory run over a toddler safely on a bus platform to run to the next bus.

Controversial opinion from a european: US transit in the Northeast is not any worse than the average european medium size city, in fact the US does things like transit centers with waiting rooms and info booths, as well as cheap fares a lot better. A place like Utica doesn't need a light rail every 10 minutes.

[@DanTheCaptain]

Yeah I’m going to have to disagree with you on that solely because European cities are mostly much denser and more walkable. While yes, an average European city might have comparable transport, but at least you can walk more places. A lot of North American cities are spread out and not as dense.

[@garyyeung3909]

But in Europe the bus usually runs more frequently than once an hour, or in Syracuse's case every 80 min on weekend. Plus Utica's bus system doesn't really cover much

[@MilesinTransit]

A place like Utica doesn't need a light rail every 10 minutes, but it DOES need Sunday service...a nice waiting room can't change a lack of freedom.

[@paulw.woodring7304]

Next time you head South on the Northeast Corridor, take the MARC Camden line to Laurel, MD. There is a totally original railroad car-design diner across Rt. 1 from the MARC/B&O station that I swear hasn't changed in 60 years, except the at-table juke boxes are modern. I think it's called Tastee Diner or something like that. It's in the same price ballpark as the one in this video. If you go down the road South about 3/4 mi. you'll come to the Giant Foods shopping center parking lot where George Wallace was shot during the 1972 Presidential campaign.

[@MilesinTransit]

[@garyyeung3909]

From I learned while riding CENTRO is a) Their buses look really good, especially those Orion's, love those buses. Their announcements are great, better than the robotic ones around the country b) Their coverage is ok, they even have a couple of regional routes but their service is horrible. Especially on the weekend. Since everything has to get to/from the hub at the same time to transfer passengers, what end up happening is you have these routes that makes a deviation just to slow it down to make the pulse. That is why all the routes in Syracuse run on pitiful 80 minute headways on weekend with some exceptions c) Utica's headways are decent enough, however the service ends at 6pm... You don't see much of a pulse in Utica, but you definitely see it in Syracuse where you have 10 buses arriving/leaving at the same time, when the signal" is given by the dispatcher to leave. d) Their numbering system is usually, but not always, XX short turns 1XX 2nd shortest variation 2XX 3rd shortest 3XX 4th shortest, etc, etc, so in theory 111 will travel further out of town than the 11, but will share a common "trunk"
