Journalist Farah Jadran models the new chic during last night’s Syracuse Style show in Armory Square.
Syracuse Fashion Week came to a climax last night along a runway on Walton Street. The increasingly popular Syracuse Style event drew hundreds (and more if you counted those watching from local pubs and restaurants) downtown to check out the latest in what to wear. CNY Central’s Michael Benny returned as the host, but this year worked with TK99’s Lisa Chelenza. Techno background beats were provided by Tom P of Pax Effex.
This year’s event benefited the Landmark Theater.
We also found out about an event called Syracuse Fashion Weekend, ask which will take place Friday, October 11, 2013 at the OnCenter.

PRPACs Ryan Johnson-Travis and the Connective Corridor’s Linda Dickerson Hartsock take a break from their booths during Urban Cinematheque at the Everson Plaza on Friday night. This year were fortunate to meet and interview these two guiding lights in our city.
Jon and Julie Patterson of Auburn NY are a 6th-generation DFF (dairy farm family). They were at the Dairy Cow Birthing Center today. Jon was one of the emcees during a live milking demonstration. Monday was Dairy Day at the New York State Fair.
Here’s part two of our conversation with Linda Dickerson-Hartsock, director of the Connective Corridor. She talks about the Corridor as a social network and destination as much as a transportation route. It has literally connected some neighborhoods a stop at a time.
Under her leadership the route has the potential to become that third space (as in that place between work and home) here in the city.

Here are some photographs from the SYNERGY 2013 graduation, which was held at SUNY Upstate Medical Center last week. This year’s diverse class of students interned for the summer at local area firms and developed problem-solving business projects.
The winner of this year’s Business Challenge was Team Yellow.
“There’s a lot that’s been said and written about the decline of older Upstate communities…But like old houses, caring for them is clearly a labor of love.”

This is part one of our conversation with the Connective Corridor’s Linda Dickerson Hartsock. Her work has blended revitalization with historic preservation.
Thanks to Bill Horrace and his band for the intro and credit tunes, which were recorded live on Centro’s Connective Corridor Bus (443).
We’re not sure if there’s a Forman Park Association, but today’s clean up, sponsored by the Syracuse and Central New York Police Retirees Association, would be a great start.
Forman Park, which is bounded on the north by the Crowne Plaza and Parkview Hotels, also contains the Policeman’s Memorial. Forman was re-dedicated last year with a formal ceremony. The park is one of the anchors of the Connective Corridor (phase two).
