In vogue on Montgomery Street
To see or be seen?
If eyes are the window to the soul then spectacles can become great window treatment.
We met this friendly vendor on Montgomery Street and admired her individual style. She quickly provided an interesting lesson on eye wear fashions. She told us about her Alain Mikli glasses. The next day we saw her and (no picture, sorry) she was wearing glasses from Frederick’s of NYC.
Style Points in Abundance
On the Grow
You didn’t have to be an artist to enjoy the swarm of creative activity that had downtown buzzing over the weekend. This photograph is from The Syracuse New Times Street Painting Festival along Montgomery Street.
Howard University Senior George Kilpatrick, III showed his vocal range at Jazz Central
Maybe one of our most under appreciated venues is Jazz Central on Washington Street. Thankfully, during the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival the stage comes alive with improvisation and the soundscape of creativity. The student performances are some of the best.

Mike Houston sang his way off stage and dance in the crowd last night.
Michael & Anjela Lynn (along with The Critics) gave the people what they wanted last night to close out Day 1 of the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival. Their neo-soul and old-school R&B, anchored with big beats, whipped up a dance frenzy in Clinton Square.

Busy Town
If you can’t find something to do in the city or around the region this weekend, you just aren’t looking hard enough. We want to check out ArtsWeek 2014 and the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival.
Here’s a video of the Stan Colella All Star Band (students) playing yesterday under the direction of Joe Carello.
