Syracuse is my hometown. This video is an accurate description of Syracuse. There is much history in Syracuse. Thank you!

Jose, you’ve done a beautiful job putting a brand new pair of eyes on Syracuse. Since I’ve lived here my whole life I’ve seen many changes but you’ve captured everything that has withstood the test of time. The face of Syracuse has changed immensely, but some things will always remain the same.
Thank you for your artistic expression of our city. Excellent work! ❤❤❤❤

[coffeepandacat]

Syracuse actually looks really pretty and quaint. There is literally no videos that show case it except yours!!! Amazing video.

[wendymotz]

My husband spent a lot of his childhood in Syracuse so we have been to the fair many times. We absolutely love it!

I'm a native of Syracuse born and raised moved 2 years after high school in 1998 crazy thing is I wanted bigger city attractions and opportunities now I've grown to appreciate to simple things and considering moving back home. I remember hanging out in Clinton Square when I was a kid

[gigique]

Syracuse NY has its ups and downs!
Syracuse has had a huge increase in people moving in. The affordability is extremely attractive. I can’t wait to visit!

[MochaQueen]

I truly appreciate this channel its positive and interesting. Always excellent content 😁.

[floridaflorida]

[DiscoverRay]

Good job. Definitely putting this in your top 5 videos thus far

[SarahEverson-zi]

Jose, what a great job you did in this video! I was born here and lived here most my life and it’s nice to see a video where someone focuses on some of the positives of the area. Well done. One small correction, to a mistake most people make, Everson is pronounced with a long E sound at the beginning. It being my last name I get it all the time. Ms eh..verson lol

[rhtball]

[andrewjones]

Good video brother. New subscriber here. Haven’t been to Syracuse in a very long time. I went to school just north of Syracuse @ SUNY Oswego so I spent a lot of time in Syracuse. Especially on the SU campus. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy this video.

[shahidarshad]

Thank you Jose for Syracuse. ❤ from Rochester. Richard Gere is also from Syracuse, my friend Liu Lovely is taking piano lessons from his mother in his early childhood. They lived on the same street. David from ABC News is also from Syracuse

Your video might encourage a rush of NYC residents to move up to Syracuse at least part of the year!

Very good video of Syracuse and vicinity! I am a "born in Brooklyn, Lived in Long Island, then, Dutchess County, then moving and settling in the CNY region back in 1991.

There's so much MORE to this area than you could possibly fit into your video! I can totally understand why you had to limit your coverage, but so much more.

As you show Coleman's Pub in Tipperary Hill, the "upside down" traffic light on Lowell Street - that whole are and the story of Irish Immigrants,

The revitalization of Downtown Syracuse, including the Landmark Theater which now draws many Broadway traveling tours, plus many other entertainers, The Civic Center/War Memorial (where the Original movie "Slapshot" was filmed) - Which brings in many acts (saw comedian Brian Regan, and the final tour of "Riverdance" + many other shows there.
A
nd lets not forget that the (former) Carrier Dome, now renamed the JPW arena - is also an attraction to entertainers such as Paul McCartney (who made a second appearance there this past year (2022), and Sir Elton John's final tour.

Oh... and talk about the Wildlife - Onondaga Lake. I (more by hobby) am an avid wildlife photographer whose time photographing is focused on the lake. ) once one of the most polluted lakes in the US - Most polluted this side of the Mississippi River, has gone through such an AGGRESIVE cleanup effort that it now is considered home to over 200 species of both Migratory and Non-migratory birds + mammals including beaver, mink, foxes, coyotes, deer, and others, plus many insects (tons of butterflies, etc. One of the most remarkable comebacks has been the Bald Eagle! We've had a growing (mostly wintering) bald eagle population since slightly before 2000. in around 2013, you may only seen and average of 15 eagles (total 1 day count) as per the Audubon and NYSDEC. Their population has DRAMATICALLY climbed where the yearly average has been in the high 60s. The peak being an official Audubon count 104 set in one day in March 2019. When I go there, I see at least 35-40 at a time (again, lucky in the past if I saw 5-10 eagles. Not only that, many eagles are now staying and nesting in the region including 2 nests (1 in 2021, the second being built by another pair this year( 2023) and it is believed to be a third on another section of the lake). This is the first time in well over 100 years that eagles have nested on the shores of NY State. To get an idea about the Eagles on Onondaga Lake, Look for Mike Lemery's "80 Bald Eagles fish, fight and steal on Onondaga Lake in Syracuse, NY!" The eagles are attracting vistors from NYC, Albany, Connecticut, Buffalo, Rochester, and some from other regions of the lake. It is one of the TOP places in the Northeast to see them This is probably the best video I've seen that captures the atmosphere of the lake and what you will see with wintering eagles on Onondaga Lake!
And more wildlife in many other City, County and State park (such as Green Lakes State Park) that also sport a lot of wildlife including many owls, smaller species, and yes, flyovers of Bald Eagles from time to time.

Again Jose On Tour, once again, your movie is GREAT, - I think you will need another 2-3 movies to capture the other highlights in Syracuse/CNY - including these eagles and other wildlife in the area ! (I'd be happy to suggest, share further info about the eagles, etc. in the area)

*by the way, Salina is pronouced Sa-Ly-Na, not Saleena.. (it was one of the names I needed to learn when I first moved here -, including Teall - pronounced "Teal" and not Tee-All " (LOL!) (welcome to CNY!)

Was looking for videos from Syracuse, maybe will move there in 2 years.

[shanequajohnson]

I'm going to Syracuse for this year in summer time and I'm planning moving back to Syracuse even I have been there for 23 years

[intellectually_lazy]
