Alive in CNY: Jim Walsh, you've really disappointed us

http://aliveincny.blogspot.com/2006/11/jim-walsh-youve-really-disappointed-us.html

Jim Walsh, you've really disappointed us. Who works for whom? Jim Walsh, a Republican who has spent the last 18 years in Congress thanks to Central New York voters, won a close race in the 25th District. The race was close because people in Onondaga County – and the City of Syracuse in particular – leaned heavily toward his Democratic challenger, Dan Maffei. Rather than take the close race as a message, Walsh grimaced at voters in Syracuse and said, " I'm really disappointed in you. Cookin' in the 'Cuse.

Alive in CNY: th3

http://aliveincny.blogspot.com/2006/10/th3.html

Angela and I braved the rain Thursday night for The Third Thursday (th3). Eight months out of the year – all except for December, January, July and August – a dozen local art galleries open their doors for free from 5 to 8 pm They have bread, fruit and cheese, wine, coffee and tea. Some artists are on hand. Since we opted to park downtown and walk, rather than take the Connective Corridor bus (a free ride, incidentally), we only got to five of the participating venues.

Alive in CNY: Eliot Spitzer, patronizing prick

http://aliveincny.blogspot.com/2006/11/eliot-spitzer-patronizing-prick.html

Eliot Spitzer, patronizing prick. Eliot Spitzer's been making the upstate rounds the past couple of days, and he took a bus tour through Syracuse. He stopped in exactly two places – the Inner Harbor and the SU men's basketball game – and said the city has "potential.". Spitzer ran on a platform of. Being a political outsider. Not being connected downstate. Well, people know his name and he's not George Pataki. The city in any way. Posted by Josh Shear @ 14:59. Comments: Post a Comment. Gen X at 40. Happi...

Alive in CNY: Canal Corp.: Destiny will just have to be smaller

http://aliveincny.blogspot.com/2006/10/canal-corp-destiny-will-just-have-to.html

Canal Corp.: Destiny will just have to be smaller. The T-U reports today that the Canal Corp. has cut off talks. With Pyramid Corp. over the Inner Harbor. They claimed they'd do that last February, and then they spent the summer futzing around, but now, well, maybe they're serious. Pyramid's imagined Destiny complex, which would start with giant additions to the existing Carousel Center, would have included the 18-acre property that drew an estimated 50,000 people total to weekly concerts this summer.

Alive in CNY: Carousel stores told to go home

http://aliveincny.blogspot.com/2006/10/carousel-stores-told-to-go-home.html

Carousel stores told to go home. A state appeals court yesterday got rid of the last legal hurdle. To the building of an 848,000-square foot expansion of the Carousel Center mall by tossing out an appeal by 10 of the mall's tenants. If you know the area malls, they're basically going to take ShoppingTown and stick it in the parking lot. What the court didn't do was clear practical hurdles. It's not really a good time to be pissing off your retail tenants any more than you have to. Oh, and let's not start...
