Mike Sutton sent this in to the Walkable Eastwood email group today. I think it’s one of the best ideas I’ve seen in a long time – giving kids the opportunity to participate in the world of work here in the community. They get to know local business people while tossing pizza dough! What could be . . . → Read More: Put Kids To Work Day at Papa John’s I’ve never lived anywhere that came up with even a quarter of the ideas Eastwoodians come up with to improve, beautify, and enjoy this neighborhood. I sent a set of ideas from a writer in the Walkable Eastwood email group to the Eastwood Chamber of Commerce email group and got back two emails chock full of ideas and events which I post here below. For further information or sign-up sheets for any item, please see the appropriate website: When you stack Syracuse up against other cities, you actually end up with a lot of reasons to be cheerful about living here. Yeah, we get into our scraps about what’s the best way to improve it. But at least people really care! Listening to people who have lived elsewhere is often enlightening: Sponsored and hosted by Eastwood Neighborhood Association Saturday, August 8, 2009 (rain date Sunday, August 9, 2009) Seller’s space cost: $10.00 donation for each 12/ x 12/ space Reprinted with permission, a notice from Cindy Seymour, owner of Laci’s Burger Joint & Cafe: Get your team together and register to play in our badminton league. Games will be held on Wednesdays. Registration fee is $50 which goes to the Sunnycrest Park Association. This is a fun league.

Co-hosts mayoral candidate forum This message was posted to the Walkable Eastwood email group, but I feel it’s so important, it’s going onto the website as well. The message, from Cindy Seymour, co-owner of Laci’s Burger Joint: As most of you know this is a very important Mayoral race for Syracuse. Our economy is in a slump and we are facing challenges that need attention. The next Mayor will be faced with some difficult and oftentimes gut-wrenching decisions that must be made. I believe that we all need to be informed voters. No more going to the polls and clicking our parties nominees. We need to vote for the best person for the job. So in saying that, I am hosting Stephanie Miner for a ladies’ night out* as I did for Joe Nicoletti. The Say Yes to Education Spring Tour is coming to our neighborhood! Say Yes means exciting new educational programs for every Syracuse City Student – kindergarten through high school – and the promise of FREE COLLEGE TUITON.

Last evening, people in great cities large and small throughout the world participated in Earth Hour. We decided to do the same, turned off all our lights and headed downtown, expecting to see people walking in the balmy evening, enjoying the 60-minute relief from light pollution, maybe even talking to each other in candle-lit bars and restaurants. Who knew? Sean Kirst, our beloved columnist, is the founder of International Tolkien Reading Day! And this year, the reading is taking place in the Palace Theatre on Sunday. Drop in any time that afternoon and maybe into the evening. It’s free, and a great way to introduce the kids (or yourself!) to “The Hobbit”. On Tuesday, January 20, Dave and I joined some six or seven hundred of our Syracuse neighbors at the Palace Theatre to witness the inauguration of President Barack Obama. For those of you who couldn’t be there, I’m sorry you missed it. I hope you were with others who were as moved by the whole thing as that packed theater was.
