Lebanese fashion designer Walid Atallah takes a final bow during the SFW Fashion Show last night.
Talk about a finale.
Walid Atallah’s design, mixed in with a perfect pageantry of precise presentation and the proper music, nearly sucked the air out of the room last night. Many in the crowd rose to their feet, others reached for their smart phones or cameras. By the end of it all, his showmanship and designs were the talk of the show.

The Central New York Police Retirees and Connective Corridor folk continue to show great stewardship of Forman Park. Here are some scenes from this morning’s beautification. We witnessed school-aged kids, retirees, SU executives, as well as current beat cops doing their share in the clean-up and planting process.
