 Clinton Square before the
canal was filled in by shrimp56
.
The tip title comes from the version of "The Erie Canal Song" that I learned as a child. There are several versions, but in them all the mule's name is "Sal" :))) The following is an expurgated version.
---------
I've got an old mule and her name is Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
She's a good old worker and a good old pal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
We've hauled some barges in our day
Filled with lumber, coal, and hay
And every inch of the way we know
From Albany to Buffalo
Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge for we're coming to a town
And you'll always know your neighbor
And you'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on
The Erie Canal
We'd better get along on our way, old gal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
'Cause you bet your life I'd never part with Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
Git up there mule, here comes a lock
We'll make Rome 'bout six o'clock
One more trip and back we'll go
Right back home to Buffalo
Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge for we're coming to a town
And you'll always know your neighbor
And you'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on
The Erie Canal Leave a Comment

I've only flown in here, so I don't know much about the area. I flew into the airport, then drove to Hammondsport. It's not a bad city at all. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

The best (pretty much the only) way to get around Syracuse is to drive. It is not a pedestrian-friendly environment by any means, and the public transportation system there is terrible. Rent or borrow a car if you don't have one, b/c without one you'll be really, really sorry! Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

My husband and I were in Syracuse for a week for medical reasons. We did not rent a car and the hotel shuttle only took us so far. Rod's Taxi came recommended by the hotel. Rod was great and he gave us discounted prices to wherever we wanted to go. His service is reliable and was always on time or earlier than the specified time. The conversation was good and the service even better. If you need a taxi/cab call Rod at 315-863-1990. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPhone: 315-863-1990

Syracuse does have a small, and by that I mean 4 station, transit system. The train runs from the Carosel Mall to Colvin St. via downtown and Syracuse University, two intermediate stations. The rail line is being extended to the Amtrak/Bus station (Regional Transporation Center).
The train runs several times a day, all week except for Mondays. The official website is http://209.51.194.98/ontrack1.htm. Leave a Comment Theme: TrainWebsite: http://209.51.194.98/ontrack1.htm Other Contact: 800-FOR-TRAIN
