Southern Hospitality

Thursday, March 6th, 2014

If this post had a picture maybe it would help you believe it, but we are going to ask you to have a small amount of faith.

Today we met Colin and Alexis, two young missionaries visiting our city. They were canvassing a neighborhood helping people, offering food (from Picasso’s Cafe) and prayer. In one instance we saw them help one family shovel a driveway.

To make it more interesting, Colin and Alexis are on a school break from Florida. Can you imagine leaving 80 degrees to wear boots, gloves and shovel snow.  Talk about a hospitality quotient!

If you see them give them some encouragement. Better yet, let them help you.

Maybe sometimes believing is seeing.

Step by Step: East Fayette Street

We read the recent Huffington Post piece that said about 1 out of 10 Syracuse residents walk to work.  Our city earned the number nine spot in the top 10 walkable U.S. cities.  We wonder if the ranking could be done on a curve since most of the metros on the list receive less snow than Syracuse.

One assist for the walking (and bike) culture can be credited to the implementation of the Connective Corridor.  Here’s a recent post by The Syracuse Media Group’s Dave Tobin that gives some background on the next phase of the Corridor project.
