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.

What if Mayor Miner reached out to President Obama and expressed interest in housing unaccompanied immigrant children awaiting deportation in our city. What do you think people would  say? How would they react?

Here is a visual interpretation of the debate that occurred on the corner of Court Street and Grant Avenue on Friday afternoon.

We anticipate a lively discussion of this issue when George Kilpatrick hosts the drive time slot on 570 WSYR next week.

In case you missed it…Trombone Shorty nearly blew a hole in the ozone layer above Onondaga Hill.

His marathon performance on Friday at Syracuse Jazz Fest capped off a mini-tribute to New Orleans. If you closed your eyes, you could feel yourself walking along Bourbon Street, and if you listened close, you could almost taste the gumbo cooking in the kitchen.
