by chrissyalex
Visit Carousel Center. Huge shopping mall with great stores. Syracuse is one of the snowiest cities in the USA( the movie 'Snow Day' takes place in Syracuse) Even though I don't really like driving in the snow now.. I can fondly remember waking up in the morning as a child to discover school had been cancelled due to a blizzard and then going sledding with friends .We usually had a few snow days each year and it was great!
