DJ Maestro, Beatmaster of the Orange (at CFAC)
Maestro definitely moves the crowd. It was good to see him on the Connective Corridor on Saturday. We hope he is a top choice when they finally do a an outdoor fashion event at Forman Park, or when the choose another artist to perform/ride the 443 Centro Bus.

Street artist making a crow sculpture out of available snow at CENTRO stop (Washington Street).
When life gives you lemons, they say make lemonade; when life gives us snow, maybe we should just make a snowman (or ice sculpture).
We saw this gentleman waiting for the Centro Bus on Saturday. In the 10 minutes before his bus came he took inspiration from the nearby gargoyles and architecture on Washington Street, along with the invasion of crows he notices in the city and came up with a pretty powerful piece of pedestrian art.

Ladies who sing: Sweet Adelines at the Civic Center
Here is some information we found out about the stylish sirens, known as the Sweet Adelines, we saw downtown and along the Connective Corridor on Friday. There’s also a Syracuse chapter.
The ladies had their own Centro fleet to transport them to the various hotels.

Centro’s SU to Destiny Route: Congestive Headway Failure
Check out this recent post on Syracuse Urban Properties (aka Syrup) about using a trolley or tram to bring visitors from DestiNY USA to downtown. We are in favor of that scenario, and would also recommend reviving OnTrack service through the city.
Anyone who’s ridden Centro’s jam-packed SU-Destiny Route on a Friday evening would agree. OnTrack would certainly be beneficial during any construction or demolition of Route I81.

Here’s part two of our conversation with Linda Dickerson-Hartsock, director of the Connective Corridor. She talks about the Corridor as a social network and destination as much as a transportation route. It has literally connected some neighborhoods a stop at a time.
Under her leadership the route has the potential to become that third space (as in that place between work and home) here in the city.

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?
