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.

Marilyn Higgins, VP of Community Engagement and Economic Development for Syracuse University

Marilyn Higgins, along with Linda Dickerson Hartsock and Maarten Jacobs, spoke last week about how the University has used innovative design, neighborhood dialogue and unlikely coalitions (creative placemaking) to promote a climate of innovation in Syracuse. The event was held in the City Hall Commons Atrium.  Higgins discussed how the new narratives of the Near Westside Initiative and Connective Corridor have ignited confidence in how the city views itself.

West Fayette Street (Rush Hour)

West Fayette Street (Rush Hour) Tuesday

Here’s an interesting question overheard along the Connective Corridor: If downtown traffic congestion at rush hour for the past few months has been moderate to severe (690 on ramp construction), what would it look like if they tore down Route I81?
