hot damn, was not expecting this brutal takedown of Strathmore in a profile of the Liverpool Mayor

all my conversations with car drivers since they put in the school zone cameras

once again asking for a travel/lifestyle/culture print publication (like Southern Living) focused on the Great Lakes Basin

these prepper ads on the ACC network are how you know this isn't a serious conference

Syracuse used to celebrate October 1 as the anniversary of Jerry Henry's rescue from slave catchers. It feels more relevant this year. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_R...

riding Centro to the NYS Fair is great because you'll be on the bus with a bunch of people who never ride the bus all talking about how easy and convenient riding the bus is

ran into the thing this past weekend where you can't use the Onondaga Lake Trail when there's a concert because they ran the trail through the amphitheater

very annoying! makes you wonder if Onondaga County actually values 'greenways and blueways' as transportation infrastructure

considering that James St between Grant/Midler has the Curd Nerd (a cheese monger), Papa John's (most items on their menu include cheese), Luv Handles (frozen yogurt, a dairy product similar in some ways to cheese), and Walgreens (frozen cheese products), hard to argue this ISN'T a cheese district

main takeaway from 81 construction is that Erie Blvd could absolutely take a road diet between Almond and Beech

just talked to a guy who grew up in Westcott south of Euclid a few decades ago, said the area used to be a 'real neighborhood' because it had a bunch of stores where kids could hang out

he rattled off a few I'd never heard of, including this one on the NE corner of Euclid and Strong

New York State and Onondaga County with population density by census tract represented in 3D
July 14, 2025 at 7:30 PM
hadn't run into problems with the census adding noise to its data until this week looking at 3d maps of pop density by block

at least twice in Onondaga County, the census assigned population to 'blocks' that are really just highway medians

since the blocks are so small, the density really pops

the thing about this that makes me think it won't work is there's no word that rhymes with 'Hogan' such that you could make as snappy a slogan as "write down Byron Brown"

I get the idea that this is a bad move because SHA is in such disarray that the front runner in the mayoral election said she'd fire ED Bill Simmons

but that's exactly why SHA retaining ownership of the buildings can be good: it's subject to real public oversight www.syracuse.com/news/2025/07...
Surprise move leaves Syracuse Housing Authority with new role in East Adams: Landlord
SHA and partners are about to start tearing down public housing to make room for a new mixed-income neighborhood.

OCDC leadership says its the responsibility of anybody who doesn't like their endorsements to join the committee

but why would someone want to join an org that doesn't share their values and has repeatedly demonstrated its own irrelevance? www.syracuse.com/politics/cny...
Syracuse’s mayoral primary was a landslide. Is it a wakeup call for old guard Democrats?
Party leaders are "selling candidates to people who are not excited about them,” one critic said.
