Cash Mob/Cuse Mob
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 Chemistry, Open for Business
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).

Erick Cork: Born to InspireThose who can do; those who can’t teach. Those who can’t teach administrate; and those who administrate should hire Erik Cork.
Cork, who plays the role of a walking Hip-Hop thesaurus, dj, preacher, high-0ctane story-teller and teacher, brought his Rap, Rhythm and Rhyme Workshop at Bethany Baptist Church today.
Hundreds of students from several Central New York school districts and their parents attended. The day was an educational experience today that was exciting, refreshing and pure edu-tain-ment.
Rap, Rhythm & Rhyme: Children learn in different ways
I saw parents stare in unanimous disbelief as they watched elementary age to high school-aged children enthusiastically participate in learning vocabulary words and study skills to the beat of contemporary music.
Cork’s philosophy illustrates that children be excited about learning. All it takes is a fresh approach, flexibility in formula and higher expectations (by parents and educators).
