[edit] Rome, NY in "Jericho"

As someone who has grown up in Rome, I decided to watch the complete first season (well, only 21 out of 22 hours, as one was a "recap" episode) of Jericho this weekend. While it's one of my new favorite shows, I was disappointed to find that Rome, NY was not actually mentioned as per the article.

Maybe I missed it so if someone could verify that it is indeed mentioned by name (perhaps mention which episode) that would be good. --Champthom 04:41, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What about Rome, NY?

I would love to hear what anyone has to say about Rome. I was born in Rome many, many years ago and am now considering returning to my real home. Anything you have to say about Rome and your experiences in Rome, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. K

I grew up in Rome. To be honest w/ you, since the base closed, there's really nothing there anymore. It's the dollar store/grocery store capital of central ny...lol Taxes are high in Oneida County now-it's up to 9.75%.(the highest in NYS) Job market isn't very promising either. I'm still w/in 20 miles of Rome. email me if you want to know more info or have any questions. michw10@hotmail.com

I lived in Rome from 1947 to 1959 (Born in Gloversville, ny 1938). My father owned "Wittig's Ice Cream Store" at 503 N. James St. I graduated R.F.A. (highschool) in 1957 and left Rome for the Air Force in 1959. I am presently married to Patricia (Roscoe) Pritchard, who worked as a waitress at the "Plaza Resturant" on E. Dominic. Some of her family still live there. Pat and I come to Rome once a year for a month or so. We Live in Locust Grove, Ga., 35 Miles south of Atlanta on I-75. No matter where we are, Rome will ALWAYS be HOME. Russ Wittig rcwitt3390-pcm@yahoo.com

[edit] God awful place

I left Utica/Rome NY 22 years ago, and I never looked back, nor do i care to. It is a place where people exist, as oposed to live, yet act to each otheras if they live in the center of the universe. It is pathetic —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.160.5.25 (talk) 21:55, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
