Fame: The Connective Corridor In Motion Series (Music meets Dance)
Photographer Kay Lavonier teamed up with the Brothers McGriff, Centro, and the Syracuse City Ballet on Friday for the Connective Corridor’s latest In Motion installment. The event, which included portraiture and live music by the McGriffs, captivated bystanders at SU’s College Station. Catching a city bus should always be this much fun.
Behind the Scenes
Cash Mob/Cuse Mob
Judging from the lines at the register, today was a good day for Craft Chemistry.
Here are some photographs from today’s Cash Mob (aka Cuse Mob) event that was held at the store, which is located on North Salina Street. The location for this shop in the city meet up was announced by Syracuse First before the weekend began.
Craft Chemistry, Open for Business
Craft was standing room only 10 minutes after the event began. Folks from all parts of the city came to check out the scene.
The excitement even spilled out into the streets, where musicians Andrew Greacen and Max McKee serenaded the crowd with their silky songs (see video below).
