THE WORK
This is Syracuse.
It’s the glow of downtown in the golden hour when the city feels alive in a way only we understand. It’s the hustle and bustle of Armory Square where conversations spill out of cafés and the heartbeat of the city echoes between brick and steel.
It’s our neighborhoods, each with their own soul. From quiet tree-lined streets to the corners filled with laughter, murals, history, and community.
It’s the water tower standing tall like a guardian of our story. It’s the four seasons that shape us. Snow that humbles us. Springs that revive us. Summers that remind us how beautiful this place truly is. Falls that take your breath away every single year.
This is Syracuse.
Perfectly imperfect. Proud. Resilient. Beautiful. Ours.

I used to think I loved Boston…
until I discovered Syracuse.
And what blows my mind is how many people feel the exact same way. The more folks I meet from Boston, the more I hear the same thing: “I had no idea Syracuse was like this.”
Honestly? I get it.
Both cities have that gritty, passionate, sports-driven energy. Both have unbelievable food, die-hard fans, real seasons, stunning architecture, and neighborhoods with character. Both have that mix of history + hustle.
But Syracuse… Syracuse feels reachable.
Easier.
More livable.
Still full of opportunity.
Still buzzing with growth.
Still packed with culture, arts, small businesses, and a community that shows up for each other in ways big cities used to.
And maybe that’s why so many people from Boston keep landing here…more than from any other major metro. Syracuse checks all the same boxes, but without the chaos, the cost, or the crowds. You get the city vibe and the breathing room. You get that Northeast pride, but with a hometown soul.
Every time I fly my drone over this place, I’m reminded:
I didn’t lose Boston.
I just found something better.

You ever walk into Wegmans feeling confident with the ingredients your wife told you to grab… and then instantly forget every single thing the second you hit the produce section? Suddenly I’m wandering the aisles like a lost toddler calling my wife for backup and of course she doesn’t answer. So now I’m just guessing and hoping I don’t come home with the wrong kind of cheese again.
Married life is a never ending grocery adventure.

You know that feeling when you crest the hill on 81 and there it is…the Dome glowing in the distance? That’s when you know you’re home. Nothing else in Syracuse hits quite like that first glimpse.
And today, with the first snow falling, it’s that familiar reminder that winter’s back… and so is that quiet sense of comfort only this city can bring. The streets, the cold, the glow of the Dome…it all just feels right. Syracuse has a way of letting you know you’re exactly where you belong.

Wegmans absolutely loves when there’s a storm in the forecast…especially that first one of the season. Why? Because like clockwork, we all rush there the moment we hear “snow,” stocking up on bread, milk, and “essentials” we’re totally fine without any other day. The storm might barely touch us, but it’s tradition at this point.

Syracuse football suffers sixth straight double-digit loss at No. 18 Miami… but sure, tell me more about “next year” 🍊 #SyracuseFootball #Cuse #OrangeNation #GoOrange #CollegeFootball #CFBMemes #Syracuse #UpstateNY
When you’re flying over the city, the path of I-81 is impossible to miss. It runs straight through Syracuse, connecting the north and south in a way you can only fully appreciate from the air.
Soon, that view will change forever as the community grid project moves forward, altering the landscape and the way the city looks from above.
It’s powerful to capture this moment in time before everything looks different.

For decades, this Gothic landmark stood silent over downtown Syracuse. Once a sacred space that had fallen still, the Mizpah Tower, formerly home to Syracuse’s First Baptist Church, watched over Columbus Circle as the world moved on around it.
But not anymore.
The Mizpah is stirring again. This six-story masterpiece is being reborn as a wine sanctuary and event space, a place where laughter will fill the arches where prayers once echoed and music will rise where silence lingered for too long. Soon, people will gather here again to celebrate, connect, and create new stories under the same soaring ceilings that once inspired awe.
“Mizpah” means watchtower, a biblical promise that even when apart, we are never truly alone. That sense of hope and renewal is at the heart of this transformation.
This revival is being led by Michael Greene, former Syracuse Common Councilor, one-time mayoral candidate, and owner of Harvey’s Garden. His vision is breathing new life into one of Syracuse’s most beautiful historic spaces, turning what was once forgotten into a destination that will bring people together again.
The soul of Syracuse is rising once more.

Tucked just minutes from Syracuse sits a place every golfer wishes they’d found sooner. It’s called The Albatross, and it’s rewriting what an indoor golf experience can be.
Â
From the moment you walk in, you know nothing was overlooked. Three state-of-the-art Full Swing simulators (the same ones used by Tiger Woods) anchor the space, surrounded by warm wood tones, leather seating, and the kind of attention to detail that makes you want to stay a while.
Â
There’s Neat, the bourbon bar, where a post-round pour feels as refined as the swing that earned it. And when the clubs are packed away, the night doesn’t end…game night with the guys plays out on the big screen, and the energy feels every bit as real as a Saturday on the course.
Â
The Albatross isn’t just an indoor golf spot. It’s a community built on the pursuit of excellence and the love of the game…a place where tradition and technology meet, and where every shot still matters.
Â
So when winter hits and the fairways disappear under snow, remember there’s a club that never closes. The Albatross…open all winter long, right here in our own backyard.

There’s something about Franklin Square in the fall that always pulls me in. The trees glow with color, the air feels alive, and that iconic water tower rises above it all as the sky turns shades of pink and gold. From high above with my drone, you can see how everything connects here...old brick, winding streets, and that unmistakable Syracuse character. This view never gets old. It’s my favorite place in the city, and every sunset reminds me why.

High above Syracuse University, looking west toward the setting sun, the city feels almost weightless. The orange glow spills over the Dome, the campus, and the neighborhoods beyond…a reminder of how much this place means to Syracuse.
It’s more than a university. It’s the heartbeat of the city. The energy, the pride, the stories…they all seem to rise from here. Every time I fly over campus, I can feel the connection between the students chasing dreams, the fans who fill the Dome, and the generations who’ve built this community together.
There’s something special about seeing it all from above…the way the light hits the hill, the skyline stretching into the horizon, and that unmistakable sense that this is where it all begins.

Syracuse after dark has a vibe all its own.
When the sun fades behind the hills, the city starts to glow. Streetlights flicker on, windows shimmer, and the quiet hum of downtown takes over.
Flying the drone at night feels like stepping into that rhythm. From above, every block tells a story…the movement, the colors, the calm between the noise. It’s the Syracuse we know, seen in a whole new way.
Syracuse, you’ve got something special up here.

🏀 Tonight, Syracuse basketball is back.
As the Orange tip off the new season inside the JMA Wireless Dome, I can’t help but think back to the time I got to fly my drone through that very building…soaring under the lights, around the rafters, and right over Jim Boeheim Court.
What an unforgettable experience seeing this iconic place from a whole new perspective.
Let’s go Orange 🍊

Sure, I like what they’ve done with the place. The renovated red house sitting on top of the old warehouse is a Syracuse legend and the space below has been turned into beautiful new apartments.
But there are days when I miss the old house and the stories that came along with it. Rumor has it an old woman once moved in and never left, so the developers built around her.
The new version looks great and I’m glad it’s been restored, but there’s something about that old red house that just feels missing to me.

Every time I send my drone up, I feel like I’m rediscovering my hometown all over again. The familiar streets, the quiet corners, the way the city stretches out toward the hills…Syracuse never stops surprising me from above.
This view, from the Woodlawn Reservoir in Strathmore where I grew up, brings it all full circle. It’s the same place I played as a kid, now seen from a whole new perspective…still beautiful, still home, just endless in its own way.
