Step by Step: East Fayette Street
We read the recent Huffington Post piece that said about 1 out of 10 Syracuse residents walk to work. Our city earned the number nine spot in the top 10 walkable U.S. cities. We wonder if the ranking could be done on a curve since most of the metros on the list receive less snow than Syracuse.
One assist for the walking (and bike) culture can be credited to the implementation of the Connective Corridor. Here’s a recent post by The Syracuse Media Group’s Dave Tobin that gives some background on the next phase of the Corridor project.

Vegetable Delight (Kitchen Series)
Thanks to the customer service department of the Dewitt Barnes & Noble for unveiling for us the newly arrived The Photography of the Modernist Cuisine by Nathan Myhrvold recently. The coffee-table book, which may be more dense and than a coffee table itself, features the perfect blend of science, photography and gastronomy. The macro shots, microscopic shots and high-speed shots are captured in Myhrvold’s lab/kitchen using a variety of cameras puts a new-school, almost Gladwellian spin on previous a previous work by Charles Jones. Here is a clip of Myhrvold talking to Charlie Rose this week about the project. The book is a great gift idea for all you photographers, scientists or body builders.
