Richest Man in Town

Sean Kirst, columnist
Philly had Steve Lopez; Detroit had Mitch Albom; New York had Jimmy Breslin; and here in Syracuse, for nearly 30 years, we’ve had Sean Kirst. He has been the kind of local journalist who, if we could somehow take soul out of his body, and convert it to an mp3 audio file, what you would hear, if you listened close, is the heartbeat of this city.
Today is Kirst’s last day at The Post Standard, and he will be truly missed.
We are not sure of the salary for a mid-sized city columnist these days, but when it comes to stepping up to the plate to represent the common man (or woman), and making a difference using the written word, Kirst is one of our best story-tellers, and he exits as one of the richest men in town.

Professor Dan Pacheco speaking at the Social Media Breakfast (#SMB) and wearing Google Glass.
The latest Social Media Breakfast (#SMB) was held at the Syracuse Media Group Headquarters last week. Panelists included Kim Brown (SU), Teri Weaver (Syracuse.com), Dan Pacheco (SU) and Tim Robertson (Time Warner Cable). The nearly hour discussion focused on journalism trends, open and closed networks, generating content, page views for pay, social media vs. legacy media, and the pending death of the traditional press release.
Due to time constraints Pacheco, who also did some ground-breaking work with drone technology at Syracuse University, didn’t get to talk about Google Glass with the group.

Step by Step: East Fayette Street
We read the recent Huffington Post piece that said about 1 out of 10 Syracuse residents walk to work. Our city earned the number nine spot in the top 10 walkable U.S. cities. We wonder if the ranking could be done on a curve since most of the metros on the list receive less snow than Syracuse.
One assist for the walking (and bike) culture can be credited to the implementation of the Connective Corridor. Here’s a recent post by The Syracuse Media Group’s Dave Tobin that gives some background on the next phase of the Corridor project.

The Muhammad School of Music visited Syracuse from Buffalo (center Min. Mark Muhammad and Henri L. Muhammad) and held a rehearsal before their performance.
Here are two scenes inside the Merchants Common Building (downtown). The Muhammad School of Music visited the School of the heARTS about a decade ago, and currently the Syracuse Media Group (and Post Standard) has nearly completed their move to the property.
