Syracuse

Due East of Rochester by about an hour. Syracuse, NY is another city on the upstate NY that strings along the old Erie Canal route. It has many of the same benefits, and problems, of the other canal and manufacturing cities of Buffalo, Rochester, and Albany. Smaller than Rochester, Syracuse was hit harder by the loss of manufacturing jobs, but it continues to soldier on despite the economic downturn.
Syracuse has its own city wiki at http://syracusewiki.org/

You can read more about it at Syracuse on Wikipedia.
