This is getting old, this snowy winter. I promised Ellie B, aka Dogamous Pyle, a walk this Sunday morning. The theme came to me quickly as we got to the business end of our Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood. Where are they going to put it next? The four-day mini-melt of last week is long…
I met up with two of my best buddies to enjoy the annual Syracuse Golf Show yesterday. We wandered the aisles and dreamed of green fairways, green rough, green greens, white golf balls, no snow. I’ll write more about the show Wednesday for my weekly community blog post for the Syracuse Public Media site. And,…
I know a guy whose company produced a documentary about what might be the coolest music club I ever experienced. A million years ago, Dave Lilling and I used to cover the same events. OK, it was only 36 years ago when we both were students at the University of Maryland, covering Terrapins sports event.…
Earlier this week, I journeyed over to the Carrier Dome, walking inside the revolving doors of Gate B to the box office. It was quiet. My football season ticket renewal payment was handled in a snap, after I told the courteous worker that yes, I do want to settle up a month before the deadline.…

First-weekend movie-goers have three interesting opening choices. Planes in peril, in “Non-Stop.” Prophet in doubt, in “Son of God.” World War in balance, in “Stalingrad: The IMAX 3D Experience.” The trailers make them all look epic in their own right, the battle in the jet, the pain and passion in Nazareth, the heat of the…
Jim Boeheim is taking a lot of heat nationally for the outburst that got the veteran coach the double-technical heave-ho last Saturday night at the end of Syracuse’s loss to Duke. USA Today headlined the moment as “Boeheim loses his mind at referees.” The site deadspin.com said Boeheim “Goes Nuts After Bad Call” and called…
On Feb. 26, 2013, I posted my first piece on markbialczak.com. It was titled “Yeah, I’ve got a blog.” I was one month out from losing my job with the big daily here in Syracuse. The post was full of emotions, lots of them. It didn’t have a photo with it, though. I was very…
It’s become a tradition for my dear wife Karen and I to make sure we head to the Syracuse, N.Y., downtown space called Hanover Square at this time of year. Since 1985, hardy and hearty Central New Yorkers have been given the opportunity to make the most of this cold, snowy season here in the…
