Hon. Langston McKinney
Today marked the end of an era. Syracuse City Court Judge Langston McKinney closed the chapter on his judicial service with a public valedictory exercise at the Onondaga Courthouse Building. Saying he wanted to pursue other interests that could not be done from the bench, McKinney and a few hundred of his friends celebrated and recollected on his more than 20 years of service.

Before he packed away his robe and gavel to accept the oath of private citizenship, Judge McKinney, in his last official act, swore in Judges Kate Rosenthal and Theodore Limpert.

Moody McCarthy
Central New Yorker’s turned New York City comics Moody McCarthy and Dan Frigolette came home to the Jazz Central stage last night for two shows.
McCarthy took a satirical view of his alma mater’s mascot (Moody’s a Corcoran alum) and family gift giving, while Frigolette (an SU grad) engaged the crowd about the chances of a Jersey guy picking up women from Manhattan and a comedian’s limitations in hierarchy of show business.
MC for the show was ESM grad Justin Taylor.
