He came here to the Oncenter and his motorcade was surrounded with a send off.

Photos from the October 9 anti-Trump protest at Clinton Square in Syracuse, where approximately 2,500 people gathered during Trump's visit.

If anyone pictured would prefer a photo removed, please reach out and I’m happy to take it down.

Proud of my city today. It was so nice to stand alongside my neighbors and be reminded that we’re not alone in this.

I’ve tried to be considerate of people’s privacy in sharing these photos, but I also think the people who showed up deserve the credit. We were in a public space, and I’m sharing these in appreciation of everyone who came out.

Part 2 of photos coming soon.

If anyone pictured would prefer to have a photo taken down, I’m absolutely happy to do so.

Nothing political, just thought it was cool the plane went right over my house lol. Tracked the whole flight and found a spot I could get close even though I wish I had a longer lens (only had a 70-200 on aps-c), oh well.

Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

I just happened to come by this on my walk. And wondered, who gets rid of it?

👻 Remember Syracuse's golden era of Halloween?

CNY used to have beloved local shops like Switz's and Dougherty's Masquerade, which offered beautiful handmade costumes available to buy or rent, hundreds of wigs and masks, and holiday decorations galore.

Now a whole generation is growing up with only Amazon or Spirit Halloween. How dull! How predictable. How corporate.

Local costume shops are going strong in other Upstate cities. The famous Arlene's Costumes in Rochester and The Costumer in the Capital Region have served their Halloween-loving communities for decades, alongside theater productions, local schools and home decor fans.

Why not here?

I’ve been visiting Webster Pond for years, usually with my camera in hand. This is one of the photos I’ve taken there.

It’s one of those places in Syracuse that I think is genuinely worth supporting — a place where people can enjoy the outdoors, connect with local wildlife, take photos, bring their families, or just spend some time away from everything.

Webster Pond could use some financial help right now, so I wanted to share their GoFundMe here.

If you’ve ever visited, or just believe places like this are valuable to our community, consider helping out if you’re able.

Places like Webster Pond are part of what makes our community better, and I’d love to see it continue to be there for everyone to enjoy.
