ikea

I’m happy in Utica. Everyone I’ve met so far seems super nice, produce in our local market looks good, there are local farms-a-plenty if I’m feeling jiggy, a whole ski resort in a neighborhood park up the street, a zoo, cute restaurants of every sort, a health food store, a decent Target and a TJ Maxx. What else shall I want? After ten months here, it turns out there are a few things I miss. Here are my first 5 (of 10).

The internet rumor mill in Central New York is claiming THIS major store is opening in Syracuse. Is it true?

What's a business you'd like to see open their first Utica/Rome area location in 2022?

With all the vacant mall space we have here in Utica, even at Destiny USA and Shoppingtown Mall in Dewitt, can we please open an IKEA?

If the rumors are true, Upstate New Yorkers might be able to get their very own IKEA Billy bookcases and Ektorp sofas a lot closer to home.

Shoppers at an Ikea in Toronto, Canada were surprised to find a very well-dressed monkey wondering around the store's parking lot Sunday.
