Sonic: more than just home of the Frozen Zone.
We may be awaiting another winter storm, but this story by The Syracuse Media Group will warm your heart and make you think of happy days. According to the story, Central New York will soon be home to multiple Sonic locations.
Syracuse’s Twin Towers
Here is a short remix of a talk given by Pastor Harry Patterson of Abundant Life Christian Center that we heard this summer at Le Moyne College.
The theme is a great way for our city to look forward to 2014, and reflect on 2013.
Dean Wallace (standing, far left) of Morgan Stanley, discussed financial careers during an event at The Black Olive Restaurant on Wednesday.
Thanks to Inspiration for the Nation for inviting us to The Black Olive (now located on the Connective Corridor at West Fayette) for a mixer sponsored by the Syracuse offices of Morgan Stanley.
Washington, buy viagra DC
We saw a poll this morning online and were not surprised that data showed Chick Fil-A is the most desired fast food franchise here in Central New York. Another one of our favorites is Danny Meyer’s Shake Shack. Shake Shack is not a franchise, but would be a great addition to Armory Square or the Connective Corridor.
Ride the High Line
Central New Yorker’s are fearless.
Who else could endure and enjoy an outdoor festival and a zip line during moderate winds and temperatures in the high-30s? Despite the chilly weather however, the attendance at inaugural the Zip Line Fest and Food Truck Rodeo was steady and strong. Students, business owners from the neighborhood, elected officials, and even families from other states (today was the last day of Parent’s Weekend at SU) filled Forman Park, and the crowds spilled onto East Genesee street on Sunday.
Parks & Rec Commissioner Baye Muhammad came out with his family to enjoy the festivities.
The energy the event created rivaled Armory Square, and maybe even more well-known public spaces such as Byrant Park, Rittenhouse Square, or Dupont Circle.
Dancing in the Park was also a highlight of the day.
PB&J’s Lunchbox also invaded the Eastside for the day (the mobile food truck is usually in Armory Square).
What a lively and unique way to kick off Phase two of the Connective Corridor construction project.
Salt City Art Mart coming to 499 Warren Street
We saw these promo pieces downtown last week and found out the Salt Market (Syracuse) will be setting up shop at 499 Warren Street on Saturday, October 19.
