3 Reviews & Comments About Syracuse
I live in upstate NY, it's not complet s**t. Except Syracuse, Syracuse s***s. It's a boring dump, and everyone is either married to their sister, a pedo, a drug dealer, poor, and or completely retarded.
Syracuse, NY, is a blue collar rust belt city filled with history and character. It's admittedly not for all, as it absolutely does lack the polish of many more prosperous cities, and it's weather can be punishing. But, the city has a proud past that was instrumental in American history, ranging from being an integral part of the Erie Canal, to being the site where the basketball shot clock was invented, and much, much more in between. Syracuse also has several museums, a handful of sports teams, and the Syracuse University Orange, it's pride and joy.
Good: The people, the history, the sports, and the general blue collar feel are fantastic.
Bad: The weather, the economy, and the crime rate could use some help.
Rochester IS a GREAT PLACE to live ! Trust me I lived in Syracuse - the armpit of the universe. Rochester is cosmopolitan - non-judgmental, progressive. Cant comment on cost of living RE: retirement. Namaste - David
