Syracuse part Deux


Headed over to Syracuse Saturday morning. Eric met me for lunch and then we headed out with city map in hand to look at more neighborhoods. We headed to the South side of Syracuse and looked around the reservoir and also on Salina street. A very depressed part the town. But the housing stock was interesting.





We found this house on a tall precipice over looking the street. Despite the boarded up windows, it appeared as though someone is living in the house. [ Or squatting or renovating]












We found this church on Salina street. From the lack of snow removal - it is currently vacant. No For Sale sign however.





Saturday night we had a room at the Syracuse Marx Hotel [ soon to be Renaissance] A very nice boutique hotel. We will probably stay there again sometime. Eric's friends Tim and Martin were in for the weekend, so we headed out to dinner with them and a crew of Martin's former coworkers from Pottery Barn. Fun dinner.







Sunday morning we headed back out again to look again at a north part of the city starting in the St. Joseph's neighborhood and headed north. We found a set of brick town houses for sale that I plan to follow up on . Also many vacant buildings to look at.
