Here is a short remix of a talk given by Pastor Harry Patterson of Abundant Life Christian Center that we heard this summer at Le Moyne College.
The theme is a great way for our city to look forward to 2014, and reflect on 2013.

When you learn to appreciate the totality of fashion, you seek out a really good dry cleaner. We took this photograph at the Genesee Cleaners the day Charlie and his wife were leaving the business. They will be missed.

Dean Wallace (standing, far left) of Morgan Stanley, discussed financial careers during an event at The Black Olive Restaurant on Wednesday.
Thanks to Inspiration for the Nation for inviting us to The Black Olive (now located on the Connective Corridor at West Fayette) for a mixer sponsored by the Syracuse offices of Morgan Stanley.

The nearly century-old sycamore tree stands guard near southern entrance to the Syracuse Center of Excellence (CoE) property.
Construction continues on Washington Street near the CoE building (interrupting our normal Connective Corridor route). We took a recent tour of the facilities and were briefed on the numerous green projects and advanced energy systems. We also found out that Syracuse is taking sustainability + conservation to new heights, because although new foliage was added on Washington Street, they didn’t displace this mature sycamore (located near what will become the CoE parking lot).
Year in Review (Venues)
Monday, December 9th, 2013Maybe the most progressive programming (artistic and otherwise) we’ve covered this year was held at the Community Folk Art Center this year. Here is a short clip of media personality George Kilpatrick talking about his radio endeavors during the CNY Mocha Men event produced by Me’Shae Brooks-Rolling.

Monday, November 25th, 2013“There’s 30, 000 brilliant individuals who are creating green buildings, nontoxic classrooms and sustainable architecture. And they’re in Philly this week, taking in our city skyline, Federal Donuts & local fare.” Julie Hancher, GreenPhilly (blog)
Here’s a good dose of self-esteem for Central New York. Our region is actually ahead of the curve in terms of planning and implementing green infrastructure and sustainability. Linda Dickerson-Hartsock, Owen Kerney and Andrew Potts were in Philadelphia last week to present the Syracuse experience at the GreenBuild International Conference and Expo.
Matt Millea and Matt Marko from the Center of Excellence also presented at the conference.
The keynote speaker at Greenbuild was former New York Senator Hillary Clinton.

Social Media Breakfast Syracuse #10 Panel: Kimberley McCoy, Rachel Boucher, Matthew De Bellas and Sarah Massett (with moderator Patrick Finlon, left).
This kind of collaboration is encouraging.
We finally got to attend a Social Media Breakfast here in town. The group had its latest meeting at Syracuse Stage on Thursday, and the focus was how arts organizations engage online. Participants included representatives from The Red House, The Everson Museum, CNY Arts and Art Rage.
The discussion ranged from generating unique content and boosting awareness to using “gamification” (rewards) and data collection methods to gain new followers/supporters.
What was most impressive is that you didn’t have to be a savvy social media manager or represent an art venue to pick up pearls of wisdom from this conversation. Quick, power-packed, yet very filling, it was like breakfast for your head.

We saw a poll this morning online and were not surprised that data showed Chick Fil-A is the most desired fast food franchise here in Central New York. Another one of our favorites is Danny Meyer’s Shake Shack. Shake Shack is not a franchise, but would be a great addition to Armory Square or the Connective Corridor.
