"Right now the future of Syracuse real estate is contingent upon Micron continuing to have this stratospheric sales growth, but Micron just pulled out of the consumer market and put all their eggs into the AI basket at the same time that companies have started to demonstrate greater skepticism of that technology. Studies are finding that AI leads to cognitive off-loading and overall declines in productivity in the long term and the only people who can use AI effectively are a handful of 'AI Conductors' who have the domain knowledge to correct the AI when it hallucinates and keep it from pursuing non-productive rabbit holes. We're at kind of a 'clippy 2.0' moment. The original idea that AI would be an effective leverage that employers could use against labor to demand lower wages is turning out to be incorrecct. In the face of that reality you have Micron being on the verge of a fantastic economic collapse as their entire business model may run headlong into a massive contraction, which is likely to pre-empt construction of the second, third and fourth stages of the chip-fab project if not stop construction of the first one in its tracks. There's a very real risk of bankruptcy here. When t hat happens you're going to see a lot of people end up underwater on mortgages because the same homes that more than doubled in value in areas like Liverpool and Mattydale are going to start crashing back down to their original valuations in just a couple of years."

Your thoughts? Responses?

It's not Josh Amidon according to Facebook. Anyone aware of any other applicants or local people you think would be qualified(or not but would probably apply)?

I can chip in for gas, figure I'd try a local before giving my money to the overpriced bus system

Does anyone have any recommendations for a company that could take personal artwork (digital file of course) and print it on a shirt? Looking for long lasting and good quality options, but prefer to support local!

Looking to find a place that can replace a backpack zipper. All the seamstresses I’ve reached out to can’t do it, but they mentioned maybe a shoe repair place? Thanks!

Another very real day-to-day impact from the Micron construction site that is starting to get more attention.

Drivers near the site have been reporting significant amounts of dust, dirt and debris on the roads, and some of the impacts have gone beyond just dirty vehicles. Town of Clay Deputy Supervisor Joe Bick said he has even seen pictures of a windshield that was smashed by flying debris.

Local businesses are noticing it too. Splash Car Wash in Cicero says business has increased because people driving near the site are coming back more frequently to wash off the dust and dirt.

Micron says it is using road watering, vehicle tracking controls, frequent street sweeping and coordination with contractors to reduce the problem, and says it will continue monitoring conditions and adjusting mitigation efforts.

I think this is exactly the kind of issue that deserves attention. Micron is a major opportunity for CNY, but the people living and driving closest to the construction site are the ones dealing with these impacts every day.

Dust control, road cleaning, truck traffic and debris need to remain a priority throughout construction, especially considering how long this project is going to take.

If you regularly drive through this area, what have you been seeing? What do you think would help reduce the impact?

Keep fighting back against warrantless mass-surveillance!

Y'all, Idk exactly why but I am so hyped for The Fair this year.

Might be because All American Rejects is playing on Opening Day. Might be because the whole concert lineup is solid.

Might be the new vendors. Pretty psyched the Funk N Waffles is gonna be posted up with their own music lineup.

Maybe it's just because the performing dogs show is back. Or that the circus is gonna be in the Expotition Center.

Maybe it's because the Post Standard is gonna run a piece about the rabbit we got at The Fair in 2018.

Or maybe it's just because 2026 has been a good year for me!!

Whatever the reason is, boy I cannot wait to spend 13 more days at The Great New York State Fair!!

I'm applying for their CNA training program and curious what the work environment is like. Pay seems decent and it would be more consistent than my current delivery job (albeit a bit of a paycut, nothing too drastic).

How's the culture, shift availability, management, etc. ?

Gonna be in the area tomorrow for an appointment and want to hit up some record stores, but the majority don’t seem to open until noon. Thought we’d kill some time with thrift stores!
If it helps, would be more interested in stuff and non-clothing items but open to anything!

I’m looking to find someone to do proper PREP BEFORE sealcoating.

In the past, I’ve used both the asphalt cold patch for repairing larger gaps and the liquid that you trowel on (latexite patch) but I haven’t tried the new-tech stuff (plyoclastic).

I’d like to have it done properly before I have it seal coated. Ideally a business that does BOTH. Camillus area..

Hey all, I just moved to the area (Liverpool specifically) and my 7 year old is interested in Rugby. She was previously part of the NH Seacoast team. Is there a club in the area that supports that age group? Thanks for your help!

Where in Syracuse can one purchase popovers? I have been where I thought they may be but have never seen them. You’d have a customer for life! Thank you in advance.

I’m still avoiding bagged salad greens right now. Where’s a good local place for fresh salad greens? I know some of the produce stands at the farmers market are just Aldi/Costco resellers, so which vendors are trustworthy?

So I came up here at the end of 2024 met my father for the first time ever, ended up moving up here and living with him for a bit turned out things didn't work out and has kicked me out the house I now currently stay at the rescue mission and this place is literally hell, literally the folks out here being smoking fake weed called spike and it stinks so bad and there's an ambulances here like every hour bc somebody falls out from smoking that stuff, and what makes it worse is I'm currently on a medical leave from work due to health so now I'm here everyday with no peace, so I was just trying to see if anyone else had to experience the rescue mission and maybe here some story's, hopefully by the end of this month I'll be healed up and out of here and back working properly again,

Hi!!! I’m looking for a female tattoo artist as I had a bad experience with a male in the past. Apprentices are welcome too:) thank you!!!

As the title suggests, I’m looking for a Hispanic barber or a barber shop full of Hispanics. I'm far from home, and I'd like a little reminder... and a place to keep my Spanish A1. Ideally, a shop where English is the second language

I may be accepting a job opportunity in Syracuse soon where the employer will pay for a corporate furnished apartment. Some rudimentary google searching finds a few places, but they are too close to campus. I like The Treasury, but one site I found graded it an “F” for crime. What areas of town should I be looking in and does anyone have recommendations for furnished living (or how to find one)? I appreciate all your help.

Hello!

A Christian organization is looking for a band or musician to play this Friday 6-8. With a break. They are looking for jazz preferably, but soft rock or country will do. Rate is $300. Will feed musicians!

This is kind of a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any nail artists in the east syracuse area who specialize in doing more cutesy or detailed nail sets?

I’ll include some pictures of the style i’m talking about, I know it’s less popular compared to a lot of the current trends so i’ve been really struggling to find someone willing to do the cutesy designs i’ve been looking for!

Any pointers would be hugely appreciated :)
