Eckel monument location eyed by city and interests
Mayor Henninger open to ideas on where to place the 68 year old Eckel statue. Fire Chef Philip Eckel’s statue currently at N State M Salne and Bullermrt Sis may move to a triangular pool at N Selina and Pearl St per the North Side Businessmen Association plan. Parks Commissioner Wells and the redevelopment committee had suggested Amos Park at Lodj Division and MN McBride St Thomas Ward, but that site is only a first suggestion. The Common Council will likely need ordinances to change the statue site, as the current city park location would be abandoned.

Syracuse delegates spend less at conventions than national average
A Syracuse study finds local delegates spent $83.33 on a 24 day stay vs a national average of $8454 per delegate. Beverages and meals exceed national norms while shorter stays are blamed on proximity to highways and transit. Over 39,000 delegates spent about $3.48 million in Syracuse last year with a record 75,000 expected this year, boosted by the American Bowling Congress turnout.
