  • Favorite Thing: Growing up in Syracuse means growing up on the fringe of the wonderful "Finger Lake" region. There are 14e of these glacially created lakes although 5 or 6 of them are the largest and most visited.
    .
    I gew up near Skaneateles -- which was an easy drive from Fayetteville. Several friends has summer houses on the lake. We would drive through the rolling farm;and, pick up some just-picked corn on the cob and preceed to spend the day in and around the lake and the grill!!!
    .
    These pictures are of one of the larger lakes, Canandaigua, in the winter. A good website for information about the region is:
    http://www.fingerlakes.org/index.htm

    Fondest Memory: Now that I am an adult I enjoy the Finger Lakes for the views, the sailing and the WINERIES!

    Bully Hill doesn't make the best wine in the region, but their labels are gorgeous and their restaurant overlooking the lake is worth the stop!

     Lovely Syracuse page, Sal! So sad to hear about the Hotel Syracuse. I hate it when historical places are shut down. ~I’m a SUCKER for popovers! And your photos are beautiful! ~We, too, had the Erie Canal running thru Ohio thru Cincy to the Ohio River.

     These are great pages. Genealogy will bring me to Syracuse next summer. As a vacationer I want to see Skaneateles and Cazenovia. And the Erie Canal! Marcia

     Wonderful page, Sally! Thanks for sharing!

     When I think of Syracuse I think, in contrast to Scott (herzog63) of sun, warm weather and... Sicily, Italy. Very good page and updates!
