I was born (1957) and raised in suburban Syracuse during its peak years. SO many fond memories of those days growing up... Heid's hot dogs & coneys in the summer, the DeWitt and Lakeshore Drive-ins, the annual Scottish Games at Onondaga Lake Park, my dad's love of SU football, watching The Magic Toy Shop as a little kid, Mike Price as "Baron Daemon", watching Monster Movie Matinee on Saturday afternoons, my 1st Rock concert in '72 (Grand Funk) and my 2nd in '73 (Jethro Tull) at the War Memorial Aud, hanging out on Marshall St. as a teen eating at Cosmo's Pizza and King David's, attending the summer movie series outside in the SU quad, buying records at Gerber's Music in Shoppingtown Mall, purchasing my 1st serious stereo equipment in '75 at Gordon Electronics on Erie Blvd, dancing at Uncle Sam's, the Lost Horizon, and the Machine Shop, watching bands perform at The Boardwalk in N. Syr, my first 2 yrs of college at OCC, and of course my family, relatives, and best friends. I left Syracuse in 1978 to complete my degree at Buffalo State College, and permanently stayed in Buffalo, 46+ years now. I haven't been back to visit in Syracuse for nearly a decade now, but it will always hold a very warm and special place in my heart. It was such a wonderful time and place to spend my delopmental years! Thank you for this lovely video about the history of my old hometown. 😊❤
You left out the Syracuse Nationals NBA team. They became national champions, the shot clock was invented by their owner and GM, and they later became the Philadelphia 76ers.
I know I know - years ago I did a whole video about the basketball team on a different channel. I had to be brief with pretty much everything, unfortunately. Anyway, thanks for watching
I love the history of Syracuse and I love the scenery and some of the spots that you can get to, but unfortunately, this place is on a steady decline and you can just see it constantly. I just moved out of state and came back after being gone for two years and it is just so nasty, I really hope that the city cleans itself up, but I don’t see that happening sadly.
I lived in Liverpool 1969-1982, graduated from SUNY Potsdam, before enlisting in the USN . I believe my heart would break if I came back and saw what is no longer there... looted down to the bedrock by now. A HEID'S mixed double and a root beer would be nice, though.
I read the book The History of Salt, and it’s impact on the rest of the world, and Syracuse was mentioned twice. I didn’t realize you could write a whole book about Salt, but it was pretty interesting.
I have native American roots ( why I am always called chief )! From grandmother ( great) looking back with the surrounding Italy within myself pioneer homes , mulberry square 💛🧡 1954-1986! Shoe makers 1898- 1905 great grandfather . Moved my great grandmother to Syracuse , new . For being drunk and biting off a (pointing ) finger of a rookie officer . I live lake point drive in Georgia .
James Geddes should have been given his due… salt pioneer, road builder, Erie Canal engineer, surveyor, laid out the village of Salina, oversaw the selling of the lots that became Syracuse… he was even an adopted Onondaga. (honestly, Joshua Forman is overrated…)
A war was fought and the Settlers won. You can always give all your stuff to the surviving Native Americans, maybe we will be impressed by it, and do it also.

Syracuse is the worst city and it's getting worse every year
@@mikethomas4430There is always someone full of bitterness.
Neat summary. Would've been good to make some mention to the I-81 construction and its upcoming demolition.
7:35 that was General Electric's "Electronics Park" plant. That was where GE built their TV tubes. Lockheed Martin is there now.

Another great production , keep them coming❤
Syracuse has less salt than Ithaca or Watkins Glen. By far. It is, however, the marketing capital of the united states.
Haha interesting point
Was just in cuse for a concert last night! State Fair was excellent couple weeks ago. Went to Harry's bar and danced my heart out.
Nice!
Who did you see?
VERY well done video. Thank you.

Idt you're from Syracuse by the way you pronounce Salina...
Yes, it is Sa-line-a. Syracuse is my home town.
As soon as I heard that I stopped believing he's from Syracuse.
@@KristieB-jr1ttIn the Utica video he says he went to MVCC, idk how he doesn't know salina
How come they rejected the missionaries but gave to the settlers? Is it an immigration thing? I'm confused
After the American Revolution treaties pushed much of the Haudenosaunee out of the area
The Haudenosaunne had their land stolen. You’re on stolen land. Read a book!!!!!!! #landback
Pronounce Salina as Sa (as in saw) line a
Thanks for creating this educational video
Love the video. I lived on the Norrhside as a youngster...used to buy fresh bread at DiLauro's for 20 cents a loaf Many fond memories.
Haw-den-o-saw-nee
Also you labeled the lake skaneateles and it’s Otisco lake….
I lived in Syracuse for 1966 to 1989, I do miss it but glad I moved
Where did you go and why? Thanks for your interest
Great video. From Long Island and I love driving up to Central NY. Alot of history and nature.
Awesome. I live downstate as well now. Grew up there, though, and visit often. Thanks for your interest
THATS WHERE I LIVE😂
Excellent video, keep up the good work. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Aqualung?
Colonialism the history of this country as well as its demise
A war was fought and the Settlers won. You can always give all your stuff to the surviving Native Americans, maybe we will be impressed by it, and do it also.
