THE WORK
They tell you never to fly your drone in the snow.
And most days, they’re probably right.
But every once in a while, a moment unfolds that you can’t ignore. Big, heavy snowflakes drifting straight down through downtown Syracuse, slowing the city to a hush. I eased into slow motion and watched winter put on a show.
The flakes stacked up against the glowing clock tower of the Gridley Building Clock Tower, each one catching the light as if time itself had slowed. A few blocks away, snow wrapped the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in quiet reverence, turning stone and bronze into something soft and cinematic.
Moments like this don’t last long. Snow melts, light changes, streets fill back up. But for a few seconds in slow motion, downtown Syracuse felt frozen in time, and I’m glad I didn’t miss it.

After the lights come down and the last of the holiday rush fades away, downtown Syracuse exhales. In Clinton Square, the ice skating rink feels different post Christmas. Quieter. Slower. More personal.
It’s the kind of place where conversations linger a little longer and laughter carries across the ice. Friends reconnect. Couples skate hand in hand. Families share a moment that isn’t rushed or scheduled. As the sun dips low and the sky warms with color, the city reflects back a sense of calm that’s hard to find this time of year.
There’s something grounding about being here as one year winds down and another comes into focus. A simple glide across the ice. A deep breath. A reminder that sometimes the best reset doesn’t require going far at all. If you can make it here around sunset, you’ll understand the vibe immediately.

Franklin Square has a way of reminding me why I fly. The drone rises, the city quiets, and that familiar water tower comes into view, steady and timeless, with Syracuse stretching out behind it.
In winter, the light does something special here. The cold sharpens the skyline, the sunset softens the edges, and for a few minutes the city feels suspended between past and present. From above, you can see the layers. The history, the grit, the calm that settles in when the day winds down.
Moments like this aren’t chased. They’re revisited.

Christmas Eve in the heart of the city. Clinton Square wrapped in snow, glowing softly, like it all fit inside a snow globe. A quiet moment before the magic of morning. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night

I swear I just wanted one thing. One.
But it’s Christmas week and that means the Wegmans parking lot is a full contact sport.
I turn in. I see it. Carts everywhere. Lines snaking past the bakery. People guarding spots like they’re paid security. Someone loading enough groceries to feed a small village.
And because I go to Wegmans way more than I’d like to admit, I already know how this story ends.
I make eye contact with the chaos.
I take a deep breath.
I keep driving.
Sometimes the win isn’t getting the groceries.
It’s knowing when to try again tomorrow.

There is a moment every year when the drone is in the air, the lights are glowing, the rink is full, and it all hits at once. This is it.
A packed ice skating rink in Clinton Square, laughter echoing off historic buildings, families bundled up, friends holding hands, kids wobbling their way into memories they will never forget.
It is always the lead up to Christmas that reminds me how lucky we are to call Upstate New York home. Not because of the snow or the cold, but because of moments like this. Simple. Honest. Together.
The true meaning of the season is not found in the rush or the noise. It is right here. Being with the people we love, period.

I’ve seen this building a thousand times from the street.
But I wanted to see it the way very few ever do.
The State Tower Building in downtown Syracuse rises higher than anything else in the city, standing watch over generations of Syracuse stories. I sent my drone straight down its face, twisting as it fell, letting the lines and curves reveal themselves layer by layer.
Then it opens up.
The geometry. The history.
Hanover Square unfolding below like a living postcard.
Same city. Same building.
A whole new perspective.

I grew up hearing people ask why Syracuse. Too cold. Too gray. Too small.
But here’s what they don’t see.
They don’t see summer nights that stretch forever along the water. Fall that explodes in color like nowhere else.
Neighborhood bars where everyone knows your name by the second visit. A city that punches way above its weight and never asks for permission.
This place raised me. It shaped my grit. It taught me how to show up when things are hard and how to celebrate when they’re good. Syracuse doesn’t need to impress you. It just is.
Unapologetic. Underrated. Home.

The Christmas season has a way of slowing everything down and making you look a little closer. The lights feel warmer. The air feels heavier with nostalgia. And the city you know so well suddenly feels brand new again.
Seeing Clinton Square from high above with my drone never gets old but during the holidays it feels especially magical. The historic architecture glowing against the winter sky. The ice skating rink alive with movement and laughter. Tiny figures circling the ice hand in hand bundled up chasing joy in the middle of the city. Families. Friends. First dates. Core memories unfolding below.
From this perspective you can really feel it. The heartbeat of downtown. The way Syracuse shows up in winter. Proud. Cozy. Alive. This is the season where the city shines just a little brighter and I’m grateful to see it from a different point of view.

Only in Syracuse: The ONLY Upside-Down Traffic Light in the country is on Tipp Hill! 🍀
Syracuse is home to one of the most unique and rebellious landmarks in the country…an upside-down traffic light in the heart of its proudest Irish neighborhood. And there’s a wild story behind it…
Tipp Hill isn’t just any neighborhood. It’s the beating heart of Syracuse’s Irish heritage, where tradition runs deep, and St. Patrick’s Day is more than a holiday…it’s a way of life. Every March, the streets are packed with thousands of people celebrating, but this neighborhood is a draw all year long for those who love a good pub, great food, and deep-rooted history.
And that history? It includes a group of Irish boys who refused to let “British red” sit above “Irish green.” 😡 They kept smashing the red lens, again and again, until the city gave in and flipped the light.
Now, this one-of-a-kind traffic light is a symbol of Irish pride, resilience, and the rebellious spirit that makes Tipp Hill one of the best places in Syracuse.
Would you have fought for green on top? 🍀 Drop a 🍀 in the comments if you love Tipp Hill!

There is something about winter in downtown Syracuse that feels like stepping into a memory. Snow settles quietly on the streets, the city slows just enough, and suddenly you notice the details that have always been there.
The Clocktower on the Gridley Building stands watch over historic Hanover Square, almost frozen in time. It feels nostalgic this time of year, like a postcard from another era. Brick, stone, and steel softened by fresh snow, lights glowing against the cold, history meeting the present in the most beautiful way.
Seeing it from above puts it all into perspective. The symmetry, the stillness, the stories layered into every block. Being able to capture and share this view from my drone never gets old. It is a reminder of how special this city is, especially in winter, when everything feels a little quieter and a lot more magical.
Downtown Syracuse, timeless as ever.

The workday has a rhythm to it. Emails piling up. Phones buzzing. Meetings running long. That constant feeling of being needed everywhere all at once.
And sometimes the only answer is simple. Get in the car and go.
No destination locked in. Just movement. Windows down. Mind finally quiet enough to wander.
From above you start to see Syracuse differently. Streets filling in. Neighborhoods waking up. The city stretching and breathing as the day unfolds. You watch I-81 come alive with motion. Thousands of stories passing through. Commuters heading home. Travelers cutting across the state. People chasing something or someone or maybe just a moment of peace.
I always catch myself wondering where they’re headed. What their day looked like. What’s waiting for them at the end of the road.
That’s the magic of this place. It’s a crossroads. A connector. A city that so many people move through without realizing how alive it really is.
And from up there it all feels pretty special.

Downtown Syracuse feels especially meaningful this time of year, not just in the evening when Clinton Square is glowing, the tree is lit, and the ice is full of skaters, but in the quiet moments too. As the Christmas holiday approaches, the energy downtown is undeniable, filled with warmth, tradition, and that familiar buzz that brings people together year after year.
Then there’s the morning, before the crowds and before the noise, when the city slows down and the sunrise washes over Clinton Square in soft light. Flying my drone at that hour is a reminder of how special this place really is, peaceful, proud, and full of character. Syracuse doesn’t only shine when it’s packed and lively. It shines in the stillness, in the calm, and in the moments most people never get to see.

What starts as a simple moment opens up into something bigger as downtown Syracuse reveals itself from above. Shot with my drone, this view of Clinton Square and the Christmas tree is a reminder of why I fall in love with this city all over again every time I see it from the sky, especially during the holidays when everything feels a little more alive, a little more magical.

THEN. The Erie Canal flowing through Clinton Square. Black and white streets. Horse drawn carriages. Storefronts full of promise. A crossroads where goods people and ideas moved a young city forward. Just down the way near Columbus Circle stood the historic church that later became the Mission restaurant anchoring the neighborhood in food community and gathering.
NOW. Color. Motion. Light. The same streets from high above. Cars instead of canal boats. The former Mission restaurant building now home to Noble Cellar. The clip shown here is from an earlier flight. Noble Cellar has since done an incredible job updating the exterior while honoring the character of the building. New life layered on top of old bones.
This corner of downtown has seen generations pass through. Parades. Protests. First jobs. Late nights. Quiet mornings. The buildings remember it all.
There’s something powerful about standing in the present while looking straight into the past. Different era. Same soul.
Syracuse keeps moving forward but it never forgets where it came from.

IT HAPPENED. AGAIN. The Onondaga Lake Parkway Bridge is still absolutely, undeniably UNDEFEATED.
Despite massive warning signs, flashing lights, and a long history of destroying box trucks, another driver decided today was the day. Spoiler alert. It was not.
At this point, the bridge is not infrastructure. It is a rite of passage for overconfident drivers who say, “I’ll clear it.” You won’t. You never do.
Shoutout to the bridge for protecting its flawless record since 1970.
Still the most consistent performer in Syracuse.
PSA for truck drivers everywhere: Your GPS is lying. Your confidence is misplaced. Turn around.
The bridge always wins.
