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.

Poppa Chubby did a guitar clinic at Upstairs at the Dino on Friday afternoon. He played a few licks and also talked about his early career in Chicago vibing with legends such as Buddy Guy, Magic Slim and Johnny Winter. Chubby played the main stage last night at the NYS Blues Festival in Clinton Square.

Raul Midon at the 2014 Syracuse Jazz Festival
We are starting our 2015 wish list early.
Hopefully singer,songwriter and composer Raul Midon gets invited back to Syracuse soon. He put on a great show Saturday as a soulful one-man sound machine, but we think to fully appreciate the complexities of his talents and the nuance of his genius, he should to be featured in the Legends of Jazz Series at OCC.

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.
