Detroit has style. So does Miami.  Is there a Syracuse style?
One person who taught me a lot about developing a sense of personal style was my former neighbor Lester Berman.  He owned a tailor shop and sold suits for decades in his family’s business in Midtown Syracuse .

Berman passed away about a decade ago, but he was a great example of style in Syracuse.

Thanks to great triage at the door, our voting experience was relatively quick and easy.  Here’s a look at a South Florida ballot, where lines and wait times have been long.

Kelly Anderson, director, "My Brooklyn: Race, Real Estate and the Future of Cities."

Kelly Anderson, director, “My Brooklyn: Race, Real Estate and the Future of Cities.”

Kelly Anderson screened her film “My Brooklyn: Race, Real Estate and the Future of Cities” at Syracuse University for about 100 people on Monday. The documentary tackles salient urban issues such as reverse red-lining, spacial wars, up-zoning and available v. affordable real estate.

The film exposes the gentrification of the borough that Anderson calls home, and features interviews with politicians and community activists. The work of  NYC  photographer Jamel Shabazz appears throughout the narrative (especially his vintage 80’s shots). Shabazz is also interviewed in the film and talks about historic properties such as the Albee Square Mall.
