If your name is Joe, your day has come. Wednesday, March 27th is National Joe Day, in honor of everyone named Joe or Jo, Joette, Joey, Joseph, Josephine, Johanna, Joann, Jodie-any variant of the name.The picture above features two prominent 'Joes' from the Utica-Rome area. New York State Senator Joe Griffo (red shirt) and Utica mayoral hopeful Joe Marino (grey slacks) are familiar faces in these parts. But they aren't the only big-time Joes we could honor-and there are some other creative ways we could observe National Joe Day.
Here are a few ideas. Listen to the radio. We suggest calling us on Lite 98.7 and requesting a Joe Jonas song OR tuning in Utica-Rome radio legend Genesee Joe Trisolino.
Happy National Joe Day! My preference is Joe. Joseph has always been in the US Top 20, dipping to its lowest point ever at #20 in the most recent year counted, 2010. It’s the seventh most popular name of all time in the US. Joe slang includes: cup of Joe (coffee), used from the 1940s; Regular or Average Joe; G.I. Joe; and Joe the Plumber.
Write Senator Joe Griffo a letter to support his efforts or just to ask him question. Here's. Find out more about Utica Councilman Joe Marino's run for Utica mayor here on. Follow former Vice President Joe Biden's decision on a potential run for President. He has info and he's selling swag. Eat some Utica Greens, a local delicacy popularized at Chesterfield Restaurant in the 1980s by Joe Morelle. Or go try the delicious Steak Morelle, currently being served in his honor at Tavolo in North Utica.
