Street artist making a crow sculpture out of available snow at CENTRO stop (Washington Street).
When life gives you lemons, they say make lemonade; when life gives us snow, maybe we should just make a snowman (or ice sculpture).
We saw this gentleman waiting for the Centro Bus on Saturday. In the 10 minutes before his bus came he took inspiration from the nearby gargoyles and architecture on Washington Street, along with the invasion of crows he notices in the city and came up with a pretty powerful piece of pedestrian art.

Colton Jones kicks off the peaceful protest on the steps of Hendricks Chapel (Syracuse University).
We found out about last night’s march for social justice via social media (Thanks Syracuse Media Group’s Dave Tobin). The multi-generational, multi-cultural group of peaceful (but vocal) protesters began their journey at Hendricks Chapel, marched through campus (with a brief pause at Bird Library), then despite the wind chill near 20 degrees, hopped on the Connective Corridor before hitting Harrison Street, and eventually occupying a portion of Downtown Syracuse.
In appreciation for the march and the movement, with end with an album that was recorded on this day during the height of the Civil Right Movement (see below).
Dying-In, Bird Library
Activist read the names of victims who died in police custody
The march swelled as it reached the Connective Corridor (University Avenue).
Pastor Dexter, a leader from the local SCLC, became a vocal leader as the march exited the University-area.
Jones rallied the marchers as they head toward Almond Street (under Route I81)
The State Street sit-in (near the courthouse and justice center) brought downtown traffic to a standstill.
