Volunteers from 40 Below are working on a mural spanning two blocks to remind people of the impact the Erie Canal once had on the Salt City.
A dozen people clad in sandals rolled out baby blue paint onto Erie Boulevard in downtown Syracuse Saturday night between Montgomery and Salina streets, a two-block stretch converted from a fraction of the Erie Canal into dry land less than a century ago.
Approaching 9 p.m., the former national power building shone out down the boulevard, and the fountains bubbled behind public works barriers. To the South, the sky loomed dark and opaque.
Participants performed and danced in unison Saturday, beginning in Columbus Circle, as part of the Syracuse MP3 Experiment.
Dozens of people armed with umbrellas and MP3 players following a man in a lobster costume took over Columbus Circle in Syracuse on Saturday as part of a public improvisation theater act.
