Sunset Boulevard. What a View.
Leaving West Dominick street, onto Erie Boulevard. Gotta say: The boulevard needs a priority facelift. Should be designed similar to Black River boulevard, with LED lighting. LED, streetlights, with a “hood,” so lighting disperses more and is not reflected into the sky. A wider sidewalk(couple extra feet), on one side of the boulevard, for all pedestrians & cyclists. Of course, we gotta have environmental/traffic/design studies that tend to cost more than completing the actual project. Why is that?
The two most popular places in this video, are Lowe’s Home Improvement & the grandest location for cooling-off…Nicky Doodles!! And there is always a line at the take-out window in the evening. Adults are as anxious as kids to get ice-cream. Rome Cinemas Eight, is back-in operation after nearly two years of being closed(as was almost every business in America). Pizza Hut…still makes Pizza! Gotta admit, I do love a Pizza Hut pizza. Dunkin Donuts, is next to Nicky Noodles, which is next to Dippen Doonuts! And I do not like the big chain corporate donut/coffee shops. Dunkin Donuts, coffee is always too hot, the donuts are not fresh. Dippin Donuts: Small business, local, courteous(Dunkin Donut employees are on drugs & just rude), and Dippin, makes the most awesome breakfast sandwiches.
King’s Buffet, in the Westgate Plaza(same as the Rome Cinemas), is outta-business. Probably for the better. Don’t think they ever passed a food inspection.
A-lot of sheriff vehicles were going-by me. managed to capture one on video. Either a domestic dispute, accident, or drug bust(virtually non-existent in New York, these days. Sadly.), or they were heading to headquarters.
If politicians desire to make the Copper City, a artsy-fartsy town, ya first have to attract the wealthy. I suggest cooperation with the Turning Stone Casino, to tour around the high-rollers, whom may see investment opportunity. Just do not see the Rome Chamber of Commerce, doing much(ever) to attract people & tourists to Copper City businesses. Entrepreneurs, should have more of a say as to how $450 million in state spending to attract tourism, is actually applied.
And that all I gotta say ’bout that.
Oh. One More thing: I do not own the music copyrights. Nor the copyright to the Sunset. Copy that.
