While in the rest of the United States of America, college football fans are most likely discussing which team they like to win the national championship this time around, talk is of a new coach here in Syracuse, N.Y. Exciting championship games this past weekend and the last meeting of the BCS committee came up…
Kimberly Schad will throw a big party Friday night in Syracuse, at The Palace Theater on James Street, where everybody can come and appreciate her performing her music for free. It’s a release celebration for her EP, The Mystic Kingdom. Schad started recording an album five years ago, and didn’t like the final result. She…
Frank Sinatra was born 100 years ago. Come fly with me, time. The sounds of Francis Albert have meant so much to me since my father turned me on to him when I was really small. Syracuse singer Ronnie Leigh had a similar introduction, I discovered when I interviewed him for the latest installment of…
The No. 1 college football team prevailed Saturday in the Carrier Dome. But the Syracuse Orange gave the Clemson Tigers a hard time. The final score was 37-27, and the game was wilder than that.

Bob Halligan Jr. will sing with a couple of Syracuse’s favorite groups from the Wayback on Nov. 21. He can do it.

To make it work best, the singer and songwriter explains, she quickly worked her contacts to book a sister show in nearby Rochester. “It’s nice to have two,…
This is the time of year when Robert Hoadley’s business barks at him seven days a week. Hoadley owns Lakeview Nursery and Hoadley’s Wholesale Nursery on 140-plus acres of land in Auburn, N.Y., some 30 miles west of Syracuse. It’s a tree farm, the 34-year-old’s baby, really. He bought the business from his parents some…
They play big-time football at Louisiana State University. And so when there were plenty of tickets to buy for last Saturday’s game for their Tigers to face the Orange of Syracuse up north in the Carrier Dome, the fans of Baton Rouge and the Bayou beyond did not hesitate in buying them up and traveling…
It’s apple-picking time in my home turf of central New York state. Loads of folks gather up the kids or friends and get out there and get their own. Me? I’d rather select a bag or box that somebody else has already rounded up from the orchards. My dear wife Karen and I took a…
