Development in and Around Syracuse Discussion

I thought this was cool. The area where the Oneida, Oswego and Seneca Rivers converge (almost like a mini Pittsburgh) is getting $1 million from the State to be revitalized.

Clay gets a $1 million boost to revive its waterfront, a step toward becoming entertainment destination

The grants will help pay for a boat launch and shoreline improvements at Three Rivers Point.

I had no idea, but back in the day there was a venue called the Three Rivers Inn that got A-list entertainers.

"The site once contained the Three Rivers Inn, a popular night club that attracted national acts including Frank Sinatra Jr., Sammy Davis Jr., Louis Armstrong, Peter Lawford, Nat King Cole, Jimmy Durante and Duke Ellington."

This was a great read on the Three Rivers Inn a few years ago:

How the son of an onion farmer turned his bar into CNY’s ritziest nightclub

"Dom Bruno's Home of the Stars," the Three Rivers Inn at Phoenix, brought big names, like Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis Jr., and Nat King Cole to Central New York.

My mother who will be 101 years old next month saw Nat King Cole there with my father back in the 50's.

$1M doesn't buy you a lot these days, especially if PLAs are in place.

Fascinating, had no idea. Back in HS we used to jump off one of the bridges near there on the Oneida. I don't recall which one, but we used to call it "Schroeppel's Bridge" and it was a steel-deck with an overhead truss, thing used to vibrate and wobble when cars crossed it.

Drove by the Micron site yesterday morning and it looks like most of the trees on the southwest corner of Caughdenoy road are already cleared. Doesn't look like they'll have a problem getting the site cleared in the next two months.

Not so fast my friend, we just booked some flights back to Cuse on March 28th

Ryan said this morning that they had cleared over 200 acres of tress. Sounds like good progress being made.

Drove by again yesterday. The site is completely cleared except for the elderly woman’s house.

First big stage of chopping trees before the bats come back looks like it’s on time. Ground is pretty frozen so it made cutting trees easier. Next step is to hope for a little thaw to start removing stumps. Rail spur has been approved. Construction of that will allow for fill to come in to site via railroad and a conveyor belt system. Trucks can’t possibly meet that demand alone.

Schroppel's is upstream from the Three Rivers bridge pictured, several miles in distance. It no longer exists as you described it. It was replaced in the early 80's by a modern two lane structure. Although illegal even back in the day, people often did jump from the old bridge.

My mom worked there before I was born. It's hard to believe it was something that well known at one time.

Three Rivers Inn closed as a night club featuring headliners prior, unsure of closing date, and in 1973 burned to total loss.

Three Rivers Inn reopened briefly, in a location north of its original site, but never achieved the success it had and closed at that location after a short period.

Any housing development being planned yet in Southern Oswego County?

Not that I am aware of, but things might move faster now that Micron site prep has actually begun.

Lack of infrastructure for public water and sewage, would probably limit/impede such developement.

My parents were Sammy’s guest at a dinner and show because they had lent their new car to Sammy’s record company rep (family friend) to drive Sammy around while he was in town.

I know Sammy had to deal with all kinds of BS in Las Vegas with not being allowed in certain hotels and restaurants. Fortunately Sinatra and others fiercely defended him. Hopefully that wasn't the case in Syracuse.

My mother and father often went there when dating. She saw many stars there but said the most talented of them all was Sammy Davis Jr. She said he could do everything sing, dance, do impersonations, and was a great drummer, trumpet,xylophone (vibraphone) and piano player. She said he was the best performer and was worth more than twice the price you ever paid to see him.
