Laci’s Tapas Bar to reopen under new ownership but with familiar faces
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Laci’s Tapas Bar, a beloved restaurant in the Hawley Green neighborhood of Syracuse that permanently closed at the height of the pandemic, will reopen under new ownership…
Quite an appropriate name for a soldier, “Sniper”.I always wondered what the history was behind this statue, I would walk by it all the time with the dogs when I lived on Danforth. Gustavus Sniper was a historic Civil War Lieutenant, story isn't paywalled and definitely worth the read.
Syracuse’s ‘Sniper’ monument honors one of the city’s most illustrious, and forgotten, citizens
The North Salina Street statue was unveiled on Decoration Day, 1905 and honors Civil War hero Gustavus Sniper.www.syracuse.com
"There is a small triangle of grass on Syracuse’s northside, bordered by North Salina, North State, and East Laurel streets.
...Like so many American success stories, Gustavus Sniper’s story began elsewhere.
Born in in Baden-Wurttemberg in 1836, his parents, Joseph and Caroline, immigrated to Syracuse in 1842, then just a small but growing village of about 18,000 inhabitants, on the Erie Canal.
According to his obituary, Sniper was educated in the Syracuse public schools and continued his own education attending night school.
...Sniper gained his lasting fame at the battle of Quaker Road on March 29, 1865, as the Army of the Potomac continued its relentless pursuit of Lee’s army. In the face of heavy enemy fire, Sniper led a counterattack, charging directly into the Confederate onslaught.
In the fray, William Tyler, color bearer for the regiment, was shot. After two other men picked up the colors, each one meeting the same fate, Col. Sniper dismounted his horse and ran into the thick fog of gun smoke, grabbing the flag from his wounded men. He is said to have yelled, “Men of the 185th, forward!”
Following their colonel and their colors, they repelled the Confederates, but at a heavy cost. 180 men were killed or wounded in the fighting that lasted little more than thirty minutes."
Someone needs to purchase the company.We're never getting Grandma Brown's back. Incredible to me that she hasn't hired a company to produce and market this for her but then again I don't think she is working with all her mental faculties either. Just a guess

"On Tuesday, Brown said she has been unable to hire enough people to restart production.
“We just don’t know how this is going to play out,” she said in a brief phone interview from her office on Scenic Avenue. “If we don’t have manpower, we cannot run this plant.”
Asked how many people she needs to operate the facility, she replied, “It changes from day to day,” then ended the interview."
Weitzman - he would do it. I don't think Sandra Brown wants to sell, she must have had offers for the recipe and/or the factory at the very least by now. I believe I read in one of these stories that she's in her 80's and by herself. Not that it matters but it all just makes me think she operates by the old school of thinking.
