Once the Novelty wears off will people keep showing up? Syracuse and the suburbs are notorious for being front runners for new restaurants/attractions and then disappearing faster then a Rutgers fan after a loss. There are some exceptions ie Chick Fil A is still ridiculously popular but there's plenty of examples of the area just losing interest and the business ultimately folding ie Cici's, Krispy Kreme, numerous chain restaurants, amongst others. There is also the issue of competition. Tried Baghdad which was good but with King Davids now on the west side and Pita Dream seems unlikely all 3 are gonna make it.
Dr. Drew not available?LOL

I did not know that, thanks for sharing. I was really laughing at having Dr. Phil host it but they plan to have a real doctor attend as well. It's on facebook live so Dr. Phil will probably draw a crowd there would be my guess.I'm not a Katko fan by any means, but I will say he does try to do right in this space. His niece committed suicide recently and he's very active in another foundation supporting a local family who's son also committed suicide about 2 years ago.
Party in the Plaza was a great time.This seems like it would be better suited for Hanover Square. I don't think Clinton Square should be used for anything but large events.

I can’t like this enough. We should have a mega-like option just so I could give this a mega-like!
Can't find the Empire Brewery post from a few months ago, but the building owner is back with a redevelopment plan: the Empire space will be carved up into multiple tenant storefronts and the vacant upper-floor office space will be converted to 30 apartments.
I'm surprised (yet not surprised, given the owner's rep) that they've got such a vacancy problem. I used to work in the building; that's solid Class B office space with an industrial loft vibe and great views. The market is soft, but I'm guessing they didn't put a ton of energy into leasing that space up as it emptied out.
I hope the Armory neighborhood isn't becoming too imbalanced with residential conversions. The mixed-use atmosphere has long been a point in its favor.
From the description I saw, yeah. Not sure they've consulted with a design professional on that idea.Multiple tenant storefronts - down the stairs in the basement?
