I have a collection of his reminiscences of growing up in the Italian immigrant community in Syracuse. He was a great storyteller, and these are charming stories of the immigrant experience. There are 150 pages of stories. I'd be happy to send them to the museum if you think they'd be useful. I imagine a local storyteller might be able to use them to give school children and others a feeling for life in Syracuse in those days. My father lived in Syracuse from his birth in 1912 until 1924.

Great old place! It is hard to rate the Red Mill Inn, as they do not actually have a kitchen, and their food for events may be catered by various local restaurants. I attended a St Patrick's dinner there last spring, and the food was very good and atmosphere and service excellent. I believe the dinner came from Lock 24. I would recommend it.

I am nanato5 who started the whole trip down Memory Lane with now over 100 comments. I am now 64 years old, living in CT, and my fondest memory of my youth was Uncle Paul at the Elmwood Theatre on South Ave. We used to go there Saturday mornings at 10:00 and pay 15 cents to spend the entire day there. Uncle Paul would show a bunch of cartoons, have a talent show during intermission, throw hard candies to all of us eager kids, and then run the feature film. He would always stop it at a tense moment to ensure that we would be back the next Saturday- the Lone Ranger chasing the bad guy, riding up to the edge of a cliff, and STOP! Did he stop in time? Did he jump? Did he make it? We had to wait til the following Saturday to find out. Looking back now, that was a sure genius move, but at the time, we thought that's how movies were made.

My paternal grandmother has become a large mystery for me. I have done many searches and I got nothing except a possible hit for her listed as maybe an inmate in the 1930 census recordin syracuse. Her name is Rena Sodan but the census has it as Rena Soden which maybe they miss spelt it as I find alot error's in spelling of name's. It is from syracuse, NY and I noticed that the age's are from 9 yrs old to 57yrs old on these girl's. Does anyone know if there was a boarding house or maybe a orphanage or something there or can give me any input on this matter. My dad said she never talked about anything in her past, not even parent's so I don't know how to track her. Can someone please help? I am trying to do research on my family tree.
