Development in and Around Syracuse Discussion

Oh no. Wait ... don't go.

Storming Crab, a louisana crab boil restaurant chain with zero restaurants in Louisiana -hmmm. I went once. It was basically a bucket of butter, salt, sausage, corn, and potatoes with an occasional snow crab leg. I had doubts about its viability after that experience (and mine).

Got many pizzas from there back in the softball days in the 80s


"Syracuse, N.Y. — The price of the first 16-inch pepperoni pizza Mark Hordies sold was $3.75. He was 17 years old when he got into the pizza business.

For the past 40 years, he’s twirled the homemade dough and shredded his own mozzarella at Pizzaz Pizza, his family-owned shop in Syracuse’s Valley neighborhood at 1916 South Ave. His ingredients have remained the same since he slipped his first pizza in the oven.

“But it’s time for me to go,” Hordies said Friday. “I’m old and tired, and this is a good time to call it a day.”

Yeah, sorry to hear it - above-average pies and really good chicken. And in a neighborhood business district that really needs a shot in the arm.
 
Red Lobster overall has been declining. If you are located anywhere near the coast you would never think of going to one over a local seafood restaurant.
But if you’re not near the coast? I’ve never been unhappy with my meal there, but it’s probably been 5 years or so since I’ve been.
 
Anyone tried the new restaurant Lala Lu in the old Grimaldi's on Carrier Circle? Sounds fabulous, I'll bet it's not easy to get a table. Same folks own Loded on Thompson Rd.


"You must try ...


Cacio E Pepe in the Wheel ($32): This pasta dish is likely the biggest star of Danielle’s production. It’s the most filmed.

Lorano Micheli, the tableside chef, wheeled his cart to our table, nodded his head and got to work. The mobile workstation had a stock pot full of water over a gas burner to his right, a 16-inch wheel of pecorino cheese from his homeland Reggio Emilia on the left and two plates in the center. Lorano started the sauce by mixing a ladle of pasta water with grated parmesan cheese in a skillet while the fettuccine boiled for two minutes.

The room went quiet when he poured a touch of liqueur into the pecorino wheel and set it on fire. By the time the dining room audience was done filming this scene, the pecorino had softened enough to accept the parm sauce. It took Lorano just a few good stirs to create a rich coating that welcomed the cooked pasta into the wheel. Lorano tossed the fettuccine around the sauce for 30 seconds before lifting it out of the wheel and onto two plates coated with more grated parm and cracked peppercorns.

This simple yet full-flavored dish with so few ingredients was a highlight of the two-hour meal. Well, that and the fireside chat four of us had while Lorano worked to please us."

Nothing ground-breaking development-wise, but a good synopsis of where we are:

Here is one article about if from Jan 10, I pasted most of it because it's a subscriber exclusive.


"The company reported revenues last quarter of $4.1 billion, a stunning decline of 39% from the previous quarter and 47% down from the same period a year ago. The company lost $195 million in the quarter, compared with profits of $1.5 billion the previous quarter and $2.3 billion in the same period quarter a year ago.

But computer chip memory production is a long game and the current pain should be short-lived, experts told syracuse.com | The Post-Standard. Micron itself told investors the company expects sales to rebound by mid-2023.

What’s happening with Micron, and other companies that make highly advanced memory chips, isn’t so unusual.

At the moment, the demand has flattened for new computers, cars, smartphones, household appliances and scores of other devices that rely on chips. Companies like Micron ramped up production during the coronavirus pandemic, in part to satisfy our need to work from home. Now inflation is up, making consumers cut their spending.

That leaves companies like Micron with too many chips and too few buyers, and falling prices for their products.

That won’t last, analysts say.

“It wouldn’t surprise me to see in one year a shortage and prices going up,” said Hans Mosesmann, managing director of Rosenblatt Securities.

Over time, people will still need new washing machines. Countries will continue to add weapons systems.

And future innovators will need computer memory chips, like the ones Micron builds, for devices and uses that we might not even envision right now.

Micron’s main product is DRAM, or dynamic random access memory, the most common type of computer memory since it was invented by Robert Dennard at IBM in 1966. It’s where computers and other digital products store data for instant access while being worked on by a processor, and that’s not expected to change anytime soon.

DRAM accounts for more than 70% of Micron’s revenues. It’s also the type of memory that Micron is planning to make in Clay.

In other words, the kind of chips Micron plans to pump out here are the kind that experts say will continue to be in demand for the long haul."
 
They're not manufacturing chips in Boise according to the article. I think I read something about this on Syracuse.com and McMahon stated that their project here wasn't changing. I'll see if I can find it.

Oh I'm sure that everyone right now is going to say that nothing is changing, and I don't doubt that. More concerned with the scope of the project and how long it will take. A LOT of things can change in a few years and this just isn't a great start to it all.
 
this like when there is a really cold day and someone says, "So much for global warming!"

I'm just in a CNY "if it can go wrong, it will" mood today. Seems like there have been a number of promises over the years of exciting projects that will help turn the economy around that never come to fruition - or end up a fraction of what was pitched. Obviously none at the scale of the Micron project, but we can't even get the stupid highway through the middle of town taken down without setback after setback after setback.
 
Of course he did and sit back and wait for the appeals to be filed :rolleyes:


"Syracuse, N.Y. – A judge’s order today allows work to continue on the $2.25 billion Interstate 81 project. But state transportation officials must also complete further environmental reviews before tearing down the I-81 viaduct through Syracuse.

The viaduct is scheduled to be removed in three years. The decision today from State Supreme Court Justice Gerard Neri will not immediately delay the project.

Neri issued the decision today in response to a lawsuit by Renew 81 for All, a group led by former Syracuse Police Chief Frank Fowler, including suburban towns and others who oppose replacing the 81 viaduct with a “community grid” of city streets.

Neri agreed with Renew 81 that the environmental review of the project was incomplete. Among other details, the judge said DOT must account for traffic that will come from Micron Technology’s planned chip fab in Clay, which is expected to bring a surge of population growth to the area. He also ordered the state to study the potential for new air pollution along the suburban route of Interstate 481 if the viaduct is removed and traffic diverts to 481."
