Vigil for victims of Hurricane Katrina at Syracuse University
Members of the Syracuse University community held an impromptu program for the victims of Hurricane Katrina last night in Hendricks Chapel. Students and members shared experiences about evacuating or returning to clean up the Gulf Region. This week marks the five year anniversary of the storm.
Second only to the Spike Lee’s Katrina films (and interviews), I found the best testimony about the Hurricane and immediate aftermath was given by former Syracuse television executive Gary Wordlaw in 2006.

J. J. Hairston and Youthful Praise at the Fair
JJ Hairston and Youthful Praise brought energy and ebullience to the J. Alfred Cage Stage on Sunday evening. Despite a delayed arrival, they closed out this year’s Gospel Weekend and took the crowd to church.

August 29th, 2010A taste of Rochester has made it to the New York State Fair this year in the form of the famous Nick Tahou’s Garbage Plate. You have to see it to believe it and taste it to appreciate it.

En Vogue--at 20
It’s hard to fathom that the ladies of En Vogue released their first album Born to Sing 20 years ago. The original group members performed Thursday to kick-off the New York State Fair concert series at Chevy Court.
