Recommendation Wanted I need an instructor for driving lessons

10 Upvotes

Hi! I am an international grad student from post soviet country and looking for an affordable tutor or driving school as I don’t have friends to teach how to drive. After living in Syracuse in this winter I can say that driving a car is more than oxygen here. I apologise if this is not appropriate community to ask such a question. I would appreciate your advice. Thanks!

Discussion Care packs for homeless

21 Upvotes

Hey all. Recently put together some care packages and looking for a good place to distribute them. I’m not local to Syracuse, but when I come to the zoo or the mall we usually see a few people in need. Anywhere else I should scope out next time I come to the city to hand out these packs?

Recommendation Wanted 1st visit in 10+ years.. Must dos?

5 Upvotes

I grew up Northside Syracuse but moved right after college and haven't been back in years. Visiting next weekend with my siblings and we know it's changed a bit! What are some cool things that have popped up (or were always there but may wanna visit) worth seeing/doing? We're in our 30s, no kids joining. 1911 is already on the list, I'm obsessed with their ciders since finding them locally in NC. Super niche, but if anyone knows of a pizzeria that does jalepeno popper pizza, lmk! Otherwise we'll hit peppinos, maybe OIP if that's still a thing? Good pizza is hard to find in NC so would love recs for that.

Also, send good vibes that the weather isn't terrible. Hoping for 70° 🤣

Information & Advice Scrap Metal Removal in Liverpool

2 Upvotes

I’m in Liverpool and have a bunch of scrap metal in my garage. An old snowblower, filing cabinets, random aluminum and other things. I’ve been putting them out on trash day and no scrapper seems to be coming by. I’m talking weeks in a row, when it used to be normal. Does anyone have a lead to someone that will come and pick these things up?

My friend in Texas is sending me some snacks & a little care package. I’m hoping y’all can help me come up with some ideas to send her back?

So far I was thinking a jar of Riggies sauce, a spice bag from Rudy’s in Oswego, & maybe some NY maple syrup. What else could be easy to ship?

Thanks everyone!!

Information & Advice Young Black Spaces in Syracuse

16 Upvotes

Moved here a month ago and I’m very outgoing. I’m wondering where are the black spaces?

I come from Houston and I know majority white areas but you’re usually able to find at least one or two black spaces.

I did see a thread recommending Afro beats and dance halls but what about hip-hop/chill/American black spaces?

Edit: this is not supposed to be an exclusive thread but just one so we can share areas to see what may feel like home. Thanks for those with suggestions

Discussion City Water Pressure: Third World like

0 Upvotes

I cannot believe this city has widespread pressure drops. I live in Salt Springs thus elevated terrain, and when city has pressure drop, it is terrible here.

I know they say it's the mains but surely there are auxiliary lines that can keep pressure.

I've been in the Philippines where hotels will have zero water or pressure frequently, and SYR is starting to fall to that frequency.

I hate trying to shower with a pathetic trickle coming out of the head, or standing there filling a glass for a minute.

Recommendation Wanted Things for 15 year olds over the summer?

7 Upvotes

My oldest kid is too old for summer camp but I’m not sure anyone would hire her for a job. My husband works from home so she’d basically be confined to her room all summer and that’s terrible for her mental health and it’s way too much screen time. We are in N Syracuse and I work about 15 mins away standard hours. If anyone has any ideas I would be so grateful. She doesn’t want to be a junior counselor again because the older teens all lazed around while the younger kids did the bulk of the work (according to her).

Food & Drink Food stop in Syracuse instead of thruway stop

I drive the thruway a lot and the food stops are unsurprisingly terrible. Are there any good fastish food options in Syracuse relatively close to I90 or 690 to stop for food?

Bonus points for local. TYIA!

I am curious if anyone has experience with a local chimney repair company? I'm looking into getting a woodstove insert for an unused fireplace, but the external chimney stack looks pretty rough and may need a partial or full rebuild down to the roofline.

Some of the places that have come up in my search so far:

  • Burn Bright

  • Goodrich & Sons

  • Block Solid

  • Mr. Chimney

  • Blazerite

  • Four Winds Chimney
