Remains unknown

Maybe one day … As the weather’s turned colder, some of my walking days have ended up in our nearby huge mall Destiny USA. A new place that’s caught my eye on a lap is Mystery Bins. The concept of spill-it-out and let-‘em-shop reminds me of the place in Arkansas that sister-in-law Jana took my…

Here’s to the station wagon

Family hauler in the day. I certainly pre-date the SUV. So every year when I circle the cars that visit my city for the annual Syracuse Nationals classic car show, I take a photo of a good, old-fashioned station wagon. And I think back to sharing a ride in the back seat with my sisters…

So long for now

Setting up a cool sky. Something about the whitewall tires and gorgeous violet body color that stretched from here to there made those billowy clouds past the Destiny USA parking lot look even more interesting, I thought as I looked through my Syracuse Nationals classic car photos.

I remember compact cars in the day

Long ago. Hey, I said to another guy walking around the Syracuse Nationals car show registration parking lot at Destiny USA, remember when we considered this size compact cars? He smiled, obviously my age and that’s why I could make that comment about a car that starts back there and goes to up here.

Take a bite

What a grille. First off, the rusty orange color surely jumped out at me as I took in the arrivals in my city for this year’s edition of the Syracuse Nationals car show. I also thought over the front bumper it looks ready to take a nasty bite out of anything or anyone who might…

Now that’s gorgeous

Kept well or restored? I do believe I used to call this color car baby blue. I do know now that I will call this particular vehicle gorgeous, although I am not familiar with a Marlin other than a fish in the sea and a baseball player who calls Miami home. Anyway, I did notice…

And there were the classic cars

Charging back. I remembered that last weekend was the time for the classic cars to return to my part of the world for their annual drive-around and big park, so I ran over to admire and take photos. I’ll share my favorites over the next few days. This baby was ready to charge from the…

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…
