Welcome to the community wiki for Syracuse, New York, USA! This project, launched in July 2008, is an effort to explore, discuss and compile anything about Syracuse and Central New York — especially the small things that make our region such a great place to live. This entire site is maintained by the people who use it. What this means is that anybody can sign up for an account and begin editing this website.
If you're new to Syracuse Wiki, check out our Introduction. Here's a random page: Town History.
Want to create a new page? Take a look at All Pages and see what exists. Then check out Wanted Pages for some ideas. If you see some information that is wrong or want to edit a page, feel free!
Syracuse Wiki is part of the 
Wiki Spot project, which provides a home for all kinds of community wikis and other wiki projects.
