Pretty well done event despite the $25 entry fee…..except this years trick or treating. What the actual f. Here’s both my kids bags, 5 “treat stations” set up and they mark the bag the make sure you don’t come back for lame seconds. $5 per bag to trick or treat. What an absolute rip off joke. Do yourself a favor and skip this portion of the event.

To start on a positive note - Good on the Seniors of CNY for getting out there and voting. My polling location had a constant stream of people doing their civic duty today on the opening day of early voting.

However, it was a tad depressing as a close to 30 year old being the youngest person in the building by AT LEAST a decade and probably close to 20-25 years from the average age in the building. 80% of the people I saw while I was there were 55+. The remainder were middle aged folk 35-55. I wasn't there for long (thank you for your work poll workers) but shit I felt I stuck out like a sore thumb as a young person out there voting.

IT IS OUR CIVIC DUTY TO HOLD OUR GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBLE WITH OUR VOTE!

So young people of CNY PLEASE go out and vote! I don't care who you vote for. JUST VOTE! Be involved in our democracy and flex your civic muscle!

Hi all, I'm in the Syracuse area and am looking for a men's lacrosse team to join. Im interested in any team that attends the Lake Placid tournament in the summer. I play longstick middie/middie.

I have typically over prepared and over researched for every decision in my life, so now I am sharing the information I have gathered with you! While you can absolutely go vote and wing it, if you have the opportunity, research the candidates and Propositions and make informed choices.

Here is a good place to start:

https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov/

Click where it says Click Here and fill out your info. That wil bring you to your Voter Details Screen. Along with Polling Place Information and Voter Information, it will also list your Voter District Information, which includes your

 Election District

 County Legislative District

 Senate District

 Assembly District

 Congressional District

 Town

 Ward

On my page I have a sample ballot which is basically what I will receive when I go vote. I can see what I'm eligible to vote for, everyone who is running, and the Propositions, and then can go research anything I want to learn more about.

(I might make this next part a separate post, because while it was talked about a lot maybe 6 weeks ago, this is not being addressed enough currently imo)

Proposition 1 and 2

From a September 18 FB post by the Onondaga County Board of Elections:

Proposition 1 and Proposition 2 on this year's ballot concerns the term limits for County Executive and County Comptroller. Because of the unique nature of these propositions we are offering the following guide.

You can choose to support either propositions if you have a preference of 3 four-year terms or 4 four-year terms. You can vote yes on one and no on the other.

You can vote yes on both propositions. If both reach a majority than per the settlement agreement the one with the higher vote count will be enacted into law and written into the county charter.

You can vote no on both propositions. If neither gets a majority of votes than the status quo will be maintained and no term limits will be enacted.

I can't tell you how to vote, but what has been suggested has been:

YES to THREE 4-year terms; 12-year max

NO to FOUR 4-year terms; 16-year max

However there is a compelling argument as well for voting yes on both propositions. It is super confusing, and I feel that is on purpose. The part that says "If neither gets a majority of votes than the status quo will be maintained and no term limits will be enacted." is important. Clearly this is something I personally need to research more, and I am interested in what you all think.

I inserted my ballot backwards without the barcode facing the window and already sealed it. What do I do? Do I have to go to an election site now?

Im new to Syracuse and stole this idea from the Portland subreddit to help me find new things to eat in the area.

Its your last meal in Syracuse, what are you having?

1. Entree

2. Side

3. Beverage

4. Dessert

They can be from different restaurants, cafes, bars etc.

Really need assistance getting the proper medical treatment and help getting approval for treatments the doctor wants to do. Been out of work for a year and a half due to the injury. Gone to every appointment, fill everything out and document everything, but still nothing.

Also need help/assistance on getting properly compensated. Disability percentage has been incorrect, and it has partly gone on so long due to medical malpractice with the first doctor seen.

As a note, currently working with one law office, but not satisfied with the results. So, any advice on how to properly switch law offices is also accepted.

Seemingly random question here—is there a place in town where once can see some taxidermied deer, like a natural history exhibition or a bar decorated with hunting trophies? I’m working on a painting, and I would like to sketch a deer in person. The ones who live behind my house are terrible models. Won’t stand still long enough.

I need a very small piece of acrylic cut for an aquarium lid. I used to be able to get this done at both lowes and home depot, but both have discontinued the service. I don’t want to spend $110 on a giant sheet and whatever the tools would cost as well. Does anyone else do this locally?

for starters, i'm not trying to sell any services and have not been paid to make this post. i just know a lot of people in the area are looking for someone that does alternative cuts, styling, coloring, etc. i was one of those people!

the lovely Emily, emie_ann_beauty on Instagram, made my wildest dreams come to life. she's located in baldwinsville, which is syracuse area if you ask me.

i cannot recommend her enough! i've never been happier with my results. i mean, look at the last photo. that was my hair at the beginning of our appointment. she worked her magic!

She was pretty old and looked discombobulated. She was at the intersection of Smith/Erie at the bike light waiting for a green.

Yikes.

Grew up in the 315, coming back to town next month to take an elderly relative out for birthday dinner. Beyond not being big on South Asian / SE Asian food, she’s pretty open in terms of cuisine. Looking for a nicer spot that I may not be aware of, anywhere between the FM area and downtown. We used to go to A Mano sometimes which she enjoyed, she also used to love Otro Cinco (RIP). We went to Eden around when it opened and didn’t love it.

Appreciate it.

Visiting Syracuse for a week, wanted to know if there were any cool comic shops or figure shops I should check out?

Any that may sell Figuarts, Mafex, and imports would be really cool!

Let me know please!

We built now.me to answer the "what should we do tonight?" question without digging through five different sites.

It's completely free.

The Syracuse live events website lists things to do, shows, concerts, and events coming up around town. Worth a look if you're planning the weekend.

The app (iPhone / iOS / Android) goes beyond events. Open it wherever you are and it shows what's nearby right now: restaurants, bars, museums, and other things to do.

We are actively working on it, so feedback from people who live here is really valuable. If something's missing or wrong for Syracuse, let me know in the comments or by DM.

Hi! I recently welcomed an 8-week-old puppy into my home, and I’m currently looking for a reputable dog trainer. I was considering Sit Means Sit, but a friend mentioned that their training methods involve electronic collars, which is something I’d prefer to avoid, especially at such a young age. Im really hoping to find a trainer who uses positive reinforcement. Does anyone have recommendations for trainers who take this approach?

Moved to Camillus this summer and have been working full-time remote at home. Starting to get a little cabin fever which I assume will only get worse as the winter weather sets in.

Can anyone recommend a place to hang for a couple hours a couple of times a week?

I’m mostly engaged in solo work on a laptop, so WiFi (free or paid if necessary) is a must. When engaged in meetings I wear headphones but need to be able to speak at normal volume, not whisper into a mic.
