Lots of reasons for that. Just Google “What’s the most polluted lake in the US”. Onondaga Lake in downtown Cuse baby. At one point they were dumping 20 lbs of Mercury a day into the lake along with millions of pounds of raw sewage per year. No fish can live it because of the toxins. Just living near it smelled so bad people couldn’t keep windows open. Why people consciously choose to live there I’ll never know.

There WERE lots of jobs at Carrier, Honeywell and its predecessors, GE and many others. I recall one area, north and west of downtown I believe, where there were very large factory buildings with massive parking lots that were about 10-20 percent full in the late 70's. I'm fairly certain the lots are not any more full of cars today.
Found this article indicting the Syracuse economy and life there. Deindustrialization and unemployment in Syracuse, New York
Also this article about Onondaga Lake. Onondaga Lake – The Most Polluted Lake In America
Maybe Syracuse is the right moniker.

Onondaga Lake makes Syracuse sound like desolate cities in Siberia.

That’s how we’re gonna get pooched in PITT. They knew this was the dangling carrot. Not tradition or NBA futures but efficient class planning.

Omg, two frontcourt 5 stars committing back to back? I can hardly believe our good fortune. What a turnaround in just 8 short months. Just amazing what Hurley is doing.

As a Syracusian, I can only say that 140 inches of snow on average a year is actually very manageable compared anywhere else. Most places I've been to more south than here are crippled by an inch or two or snow. In Syracuse? , 2 feet of snow in the morning? No problem, school is delayed 2 hours and the plows come out. Try that anywhere else. Or dont, it's fine :)

I'm surprised you can use the word fine without triggering yourself.

No, I don't have any insights. Seems to me he has been playing it close to the vest. Our sources have said he is leaning toward us, but of course those are our sources, so what do you expect? LOL

Personally, I feel like we might have a better shot at Isaiah Stewart (coming on strong after Girard commitment and then a surprise official visit). I think we are getting a Quincy Guerrier commitment on Halloween, and then if we can get one of Akok or Stewart, we are looking at a top 10 class.

Our sources are also saying Wahab is a big priority for our coaches, but I don't see the activity on that one. I know he scheduled us as his last official visit on Nov 10th, but I'm feeling like he's more Georgetown bound.

I could see you guys getting Akok, due to proximity to his sponsor family, the number of times he has been on your campus and his overall shyness. He might be a lot more comfortable staying close to "home".

I think Syracuse will wind up with Brycen Goodine (G), Joe Girard (G), Quincy Guerrier (Wing), John Bol Ajak (Center project), and probably Diamond Carrigan (C) in the spring. If we got Stewart or Akok, that would be gravy, and would make for a great class.

Clean up was completed a year ago.

Honeywell finishes plan to monitor Onondaga Lake cleanup, but is it enough?

One trophy. Palestra is a museum, too.

Hardly, but whatever.
There are big flat screen TVs in the hallway with big games from our history running on loops.
All the old Big East trophies are there, Beautiful displays of all of our draft picks, all our career statistical leaders, etc. It's very nice. I think there are either 4 or 6 courts inside, depending on how you configure it. Coaches offices view from above. Kids have private access cards for whenever they want to use the facility.

I'm just picturing Jim Boeheim flicking boogers onto the court from his office, also I don't think there's such thing as a beautiful display of Eric Devendorf.

That's 400 inches of good quality powder though. Here in the east whatever powder we get either turns into slush or develops a layer of rock-hard ice at the top within a day or two

So, Brycen Goodine the consensus #93 prospect, 3 projects, and a JUCO player who's failed out of, or been kicked out of for robbery and violence, a number of high schools. (It's Dimon by the way.) Glad to see what qualifies as a great class to today's Syracuse.
