So now it’s a studio

Is it a Wayback Machine? I do believe we used to call these things a Photo Booth! Way, way back in my past I recall cramming friends into its confines, jamming in a quarter or two, mugging for the camera … What, no iPhone? I wonder how much use this new addition deemed a Deluxe…

Waiting for its crew

A choice. Three cheers to the marketing staffer who came up with this banner for the new bar/restaurant in the Canyon location of Syracuse shopping, dining and entertainment complex Destiny USA. I think Bullfinch may have earned a visit from myself and my dear wife Karen for a bite and a beer some Saturday.

A nod to Jimmy

The vibe shines. A stroll through Syracuse’s shopping, dining and entertainment complex Destiny USA carries with it the reminder that Jimmy Buffett passed this year. Life is more than a song, but, oh what songs. My dear wife Karen and I have been fortunate enough to visit Margaritaville complexes that reflect the singer-songwriter’s way in…

Looking up

Interesting angles. Taking a morning stroll here and there through Syracuse’s mega shopping, dining and entertainment complex Destiny USA after scoring a few great birthday gifts for my dear wife Karen, I find a cool view from the bottom floor. Retired-guy-I doesn’t mind this visit to the collection of brick-and-mortar.

It takes all sorts

Variety. Before the month is over, I remember that there is this proof of variety remaining unused in my photo roll from the Syracuse Nationals parking lot. So much style from various time periods in a row.

Now that’s a vivid green

What might this one be? I know what I like, even if I don’t know what I like. You know? While admiring the classic cars collected in the official lot for this year’s edition of the Syracuse Nationals car show, this so-green baby jumped out at me. Part car, part truck, kind of old, sort…

Classic cars look cool in the new location

The big mall looms. The Syracuse Nationals car show is set up for its new wrinkles. Central New York’s long-running summer event was purchased by Galaxy Communications between after last year’s edition, and the official hotel on Electronics Parkway closed, too. Registration and car-parking long reserved for that stretch of Liverpool is now entrenched across…

Waiting for the cars and the crowds

Seeing the ups and downs. The Syracuse Nationals car show weekend is knocking at our door. Since I scooted over to the nearby hotel parking lot to capture and share photos of parked classic cars last summer, that joint closed its doors. The official hotel for the big car show will now be the Embassy…

We spy another Skelly

Hanging out in the mall. On a recent relaxation trip to entertainment, shopping and dining complex Destiny USA, my dear wife Karen and I decided to lunch at TGIFs. Who did we spy at the entrance but Skelly. Terrific daughter Elisabeth fiance George Three and I were wondering where he went between holiday appearances on…

One step closer to ordering

Looks like Johnny Depp on the Caribbean to me. No, I have yet to check out the casual seafood boil of Aloha Krab at Syracuse mega shopping, dining and entertaining complex Destiny USA. Coming steps closer to the pirate statue for my indoor walk, I figure, gets me closer to the big moment.
