Finally

Finally, a town does it right. Phoenix, NY has done a great job of running their waterfront. The complete opposite of Utica. The town dock is pleasant, with a little waterfront park, trees, picnic tables, etc. They also have a crew of kids called the Bridgehouse Brats that help with docking, bring free coffee, run to local restaurants to get meals for you, take you on free museum tours, etc. A lot of fun.
