Today is National Running Day. Regardless of the season, Syracuse is certainly a runner’s town. Fitness fanatics from Urban Life Crossfit are pictured above during a run around Forman Park earlier this Spring.

Robert Van Keuren, US Navy veteran
US Navy veteran-turned housing visionary Robert Van Keuren, who flew over 200 combat missions in the Vietnam War, gave a speech and officially opened the Van Keuren Housing Complex last week. He reminded the crowd that many of our veterans have been left unsheltered, and not necessarily homeless, since our country will always be their home.

Su casa es me llamo: Robert Van Keuren cuts the ribbon on the East Genesee housing complex that bears his name last week.

Zeke Leonard, musician
Here is an idea whose time has come.
We look forward to more music/concerts and live shows at Forman Park along the Connective Corridor. Today we witnessed professor Zeke Leonard climb atop a car to perform “This Land is Your Land,” complete with a recycled ukulele and a NY-made-kazoo.
Leonard’s lunchtime performance was part of the Corridor’s Green Streets and Local Eats festival.
Let’s find a way to keep the music going at Forman Park.

City Seeks a Stadium

Bustle & Flow: University Avenue
Beyond the breaking news and speculation about a possible stadium in the Midtown area (near the former Kennedy Square complex) is the fact that the Connective Corridor already provides the infrastructure to effectively move fans toward the neighborhood. The route, shown here at University Avenue, connects the University Hill with Downtown for city residents. And of course, the potential site is already close to the major highways (Route 690, Route I81).
