Onondaga County Legislator Linda Ervin visited with George Kilpatrick at the Jamaican Diner this evening to kick-off his 10th Anniversary of New Inspiration for the Nation.

Onondaga County Legislator Linda Ervin visited with George Kilpatrick at the Jamerican Diner this evening.

New Inspiration for the Nation’s George Kilpatrick held a “Power Schmooze” event this evening at the Jamerican Diner, located at 415 East Washington Street. The guests were treated to home-made Jamaican fruit punch and samples of sweet cheese bread and savory jerk chicken.

The cozy spot on the edge of downtown maybe one of the best kept gastronomic secrets along the Connective Corridor.  If you are planning a foodie tour of center city, this place would be a great place to kick it off.

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.

It was fun to learn more about the band Blowin in the Wind this summer.  They recently visited the studio and got me up to speed with their current projects. Here’s a photo I snapped of lead vocalist Eric Blackwell.
