We all struggle to find good food choices, especially on the road. A special shout out to Scott and the folks at The Mustard Seed in Watertown. They provided some much needed insight and a plethora of healthy food choices during our recent trip to the North Country.

Eddie Wall Street Brown

Eddie Wall Street Brown and the Blacklites raised the Roof at Kirk Park last night.

There are a whole lot of funky bands in Syracuse who perform at various venues during the summer, but we wonder if any of them have as much fun as The Blacklites. It’s hard to think of Jazz in the City on the Southside, whether at Dunk & Bright, Kirk Park, or any venue in the neighborhood without thinking of the Blacklites.

The group is celebrating over 40 years of musical brotherhood.
