Welcome to my world!


Posted by dreynolds | 04/28/08

I'm tired of people bashing Syracuse! There, I've said it. And no, I'm not some Pollyanna who doesn't see the problems in our city. You've got to be blind not to notice the increase in crime, vacant houses, exodus of jobs, etc. But Syracuse has so much potential and I'm convinced that, with a little help from our friends in Albany and some innovative thinking from city government, this area can come back strong.



Here's what I love about living in Syracuse:



  • I can get to work in ten minutes or less, pretty much year round! My "commute" isn't stressful and I'm able to run home at lunchtime to check to mail, let the dogs out, or whatever

  • Great shopping...
