You can do okay with fresh fish at the major supermarkets if you choose carefully and Owl's Head - a Boston area vendor who drives in fresh fish -often has trucks on Thursday and Friday that set up in a few locations on the eastern side of city (they used to park in Fayetteville - not sure if they still do.) If price is not a concern then Fin's 'n Tails on Erie Blvd near Thompson Road is THE place to buy fish (to cook at home.)

I have notbeen overly impressed with the Clam Bar. Oddly enough... the chain Bonefish Grill appears to be the best seafood restaurant in town. That being said - many local restaurants, 'bc' being a good example, have some great fish specials - especially Thurs through Saturday evenings.
The seafood guy and his truck (lobster is the big thing, apparently) seems to be parked outside of "Dazzle/New Dimensions'" retail store in the village of Manlius every Friday.

That's pretty cool! I love to do similar things and get creative w/ stuff that no longer serves it's original purpose.

I sold my board for cash I'm sorry to say, but I'm REALLY looking forward to snow skiing if I ever get some free time. I love skiing and for a Florida boy I've gotten pretty good over the years. I've actually put away a little cash in hopes of buying a nice set of used ski's when we get up there.

Also, if you had the time (and courage) with an extra board I would imagine that you could remove the fins, wax it up really good and use it as a super sled.....would this work? I have no idea but it sounds fun!

^ Even if it is dangerous, it's probably safer than surfing on the EC of Florida right now seeing as how they have been finding quite a few White Sharks lately **Yikes**.

I actually tried to sell my board when I was leaving Hawaii, but wasn't willing to go below a certain price. If I couldn't get at least that price, I decided I would bring it with me and come up with something creative I've got some emotional attachments to it, so it all works out.

I def don't have the courage to try turning a board into a sled - knowing me, I'd end up injuring myself beyond belief!

I've never skied before, but I have snowboarded - lots of fun! I really have no desire to try skiing... I'd rather have my feet together on one board than separated on 2 skis... I guess I'm weird

Hi madmj,

I'm very happy to hear that your little family had a safe journey/move and arrival to Syracuse. Now you can start your familiarization/investigation of the various areas around Metro Syracuse to find some "favorite" shopping areas, restaurants, activities, & entertainment aspects. Then the serious/earnest/purposeful studies/work begins for you as you begin your important education at the SU Law School so you will achieve a successful future career and family life. My best wishes to you for your successful education and future endeavors.

Take good care of your wonderful pet Labrador dog.

Sincerely, ..........grdnrman
