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 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).

A Message for the Urbanite

April 27th, 2012



Urban advocate, author and professor Edward Glaeser spoke yesterday at the Maxwell School on the campus of Syracuse University.

Urban advocate, author and professor Edward Glaeser spoke yesterday at the Maxwell School on the campus of Syracuse University.

City living advocate Edward Glaeser visited yesterday and spoke about the joys and pains of cities.  He advocated that cities are great places to be poor and great places to be rich at the same time.  During his book signing, he was overheard telling one member of the Syracuse community that despite the success of  Triumph of the City, his next book will probably be more of an academic versus a popular text.
