Jimmy Fallon was spotted at Iron Smoke Distillery in Fairport, about nine miles from Rochester. Big whiskey up and thanks to Jimmy Fallon and posse for the singalongs, laughs, and kindness they shared with us here at Iron Smoke over the weekend. Had an absolute blast, Iron Smoke Distillery wrote on Facebook.
Fallon, who s originally from the Hudson Valley, was visiting a close friend, Damien Mulconry, who lives in Fairport, according to Syracuse.com.
Iron Smoke Distillery was founded in 2011. The distillery produces Iron Smoke Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Iron Smoke CASKet Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Rattlesnake Rosie’s Apple Pie Whiskey, and Rattlesnake Rosie s Maple Bacon Whiskey, according to the distillery s Facebook.
There s a great deal of unknown when it comes to who will represent our region in 2022 in the United States Congress. The reason has nothing to do with Rep. Claudia Tenney s popularity or lack thereof. It s all about redistricting, the population center and what happens to the 22nd congressional district.
The issue stems from New York s census results which fell short by less than 100 people resulting in the loss of a congressional seat. Most political analysts believe NY-22 could be the one district that is chopped up as it spreads from Oswego through the Mohawk Valley and down to Binghamton. It s also important to note that with a Democrat super majority in New York, it will be the Dems that get to draw the lines.

I don t want to, but my significant other and his brother went up to Brodhead last week and stocked up. They can do what they want, but I m not getting arrested for it. I ll be in the house if the cops show up.

Yeah, like 2000 bucks or something. It sucks, because every time I cross the border, there are about a gajillion signs advertising fireworks. It s hard to just drive by and not buy some.

About a thousand dollars worth, yeah.
While Illinois doesn t have the most restrictive laws on fireworks (that distinction goes to Massachusetts, where all consumer fireworks are banned except for professional shows), we re one of 3 states where very limited types of fireworks are okay, but going beyond that will potentially cause some trouble between you and law enforcement.
Not to completely date myself here, but I remember traveling in the days before we all carried GPS in our pockets. I have used a road atlas for interstate travel and good old fashion maps for in-state travel. I ve even printed my fair share of maps and directions from websites like Google Maps and Mapquest.
In 2021, my preferred method to get directions is the WAZE app. It utilizes user feedback to create a real-time driving experience alerting drivers to closures, construction, road hazards, stalled vehicles, slow-moving traffic, and even police presence.

Another popular app that I use in 2021 is the Nextdoor App which connects neighbors in online forums to share community happenings, crime watch, and general neighborhood conversations like lawn care, pet sitting, and auto repair. This is where I read that the City of Evansville has partnered with WAZE.
