Well besides the fabulous food Syracuse has, I should also mention the famous people....Tom Cruise was born there but moved to Long Island as a child; Richard Gere is from Syracuse and when he was married to Cindy Crawford, we would often see the 2 of them at midnight mass at church.(His mother lives in the same town as my parents) ALL the Baldwin boys are from Syracuse and come home quite often. I have seen them around towm many times. I actually stood in line at a toy store behind Steven Baldwin once!! Their mother still lives there and is very active in the community and the fight against breast cancer. Bobcat Goldwaithe(comedian) is also from Syracuse as is Benny Mardones(singer with a #1 song)
And of course there are the athletes, Derrick Coleman (whom I have met and he is so NOT nice), Jim Brown went to Syracuse University, Carmelo Anthony, who is a sweetheart and SO Nice!! I'm sure there are others but I'm no big on my sports unless its baseball...
