Wheat Paste Mural (Art Rage Gallery) by Tonja Torgerson
This public art piece, located on the Hawley-Green neighborhood, is an homage to all things temporary. Torgerson’s work has also been displayed in NYC and Minneapolis. She said the wheat paste works last from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the weather. Locally we’ve seen Torgersons’s pieces in Little Italy and Midtown.
Syracuse Fire Department’s Engine No. 7 comes to the End of the Road. This morning the crew cleaned out the remaining equipment and headed to other squads within the city. Engine Company No. 7 was our neighborhood (Midtown) station, and the service and professionalism will be missed.

I’d like to thank the students I had the chance to meet and work with at Westside Academy at Blodgett this year. We took a journey and learned from each other. After the first day I thought a lot about the Tony Danza Book, I’d Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had.
We did photo walks, technical research, contests and model shoots, and their skill levels continued to rise to the challenge. But soon I noticed that the children were teaching me as much about creativity and expression as I taught them about photography. Visiting the Westside neighborhood daily was an eye-opening experience. The assignment helped me become a better photographer and a better person.
Also, a special shout-out to Ms. Darby (the program director), Mr. Hicks (the principal), and Syracuse City School District alum Adrian Sicam (the multi-talented artist who allowed SIF to use his music for this piece).
