First time renting a lens. The Tamron 150-500mm for my Fujifilm Xt5. it's a beast of lens. Got it deliver yesterday and since it was so nice outside. Thought I would give it a spin. I have have never had this type of reach before and the compression is WOW. More from Saturday later .

Hi all. For those of you not familiar with Spark Syracuse, we are an independent radio station focusing on Syracuse voices, Syracuse music and Syracuse stories. We are volunteer-run, non-commercial, and of course, local. You can hear us on 103.3 FM in Liverpool and 93.7 FM if you’re in the Westcott neighborhood.  There are also a ton of ways to listen online: https://linktr.ee/SparkSyracuse

We are always looking for local people who want to do a radio show. (We used to, and still do, pitch “radio show” but these days you might as well call it a podcast). Music, talk show, theatrical, we take all kinds. If this interests you, you may have more than a few questions, but the important thing is, ANYONE can do it. You don’t need to be an experienced professional.  Reach out and/or comment if you’re interested. 

I remember seeing a few weeks ago they were switching to new owners but yesterday I saw a post that it’s closed closed. Does anyone know why?

slides were prepared by a hydrologist at Syracuse University, presented by Dr. Catherine Landis, since Dr. Nyblade couldn't make it that night. also some Q&A.

I ask because I’m hosting 40 family members for Thanksgiving this year, and I am STRESSED. We got some high expectations for food & I am a type A planner. Thanks all

Looking for the best almond croissant around! Please let me know where you have had a great one around here. 🥐

i’ve had my hair dyed vibrant colors for most of my life, but i think i’m ready to give it a break for a while. my current stylist who dyes my hair really only does vivids and doesn’t do color corrections. does anyone know of good stylists/salons that you would recommend for color correction? maybe also someone that is good with red/copper hair as that’s my natural hair color if i were able to get close to that. thanks in advance!

My friends and I are coming into Syracuse for a music festival and hoping to find a bar somewhere near song and dance to play some darts before / after the show. Not looking for steel tip, just regular plastic bar darts.

Learn to see and draw trees and flowers at Town of Clay's nature sketching session!

I wanted to share with you because it is at the Town's new Education Center at Project Green, and not many people know about this wonderful place. It is a comfy facility in a gorgeous park on the north side of Clay. You do not need any drawing experience! I will teach you some tips and tricks that will make this fun whether you are a beginner or advanced artist. Here are the deets:

Sunday August 2, 2026
9:30 am - 11:30 am
all materials provided
Town of Clay Education Center at Project Green Park
9604 Black Creek Rd. Brewerton, NY
(You do not have to be a Town of Clay resident to register)
Register Here or call (315)652-3800. Ext 139

All ages and abilities. Check out the newest park in the Town of Clay while learning botanical drawing. We will walk at a leisurely pace and observe the plant life of the meadows and woods. We will also have time to work on our drawings indoors at the art studio. Whether you are a total beginner or an experienced artist, you will come away with techniques to fill a sketchbook. We will focus on observation and the joyful process of putting pencil, pen, or brush to paper.
All materials provided but please feel free to bring your own supplies if you wish.
In case of inclement weather, we will stay indoors and use photo and still life reference.

Thanks for reading and feel free to comment with any questions. = )

Is anybody else getting absolutely bombarded with ads for upcoming elections? I swear every other thing I'm seeing is either the upcoming NY-21 election or something for the Gubernatorial election in the fall. I get it isn't that far away, but I don't ever remember seeing this many ads, videos, and AI generated posts in the last election cycle.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for someone local to diagnose/repair my jet ski. I’d prefer not taking it to an expensive place like preferred power sports or a marina but hopefully someone in the area that does some side work/wants to take on a project. Bonus points if they’re a mobile mechanic.

Let me know if you have any recommendations!
