Born and bred and living there parttime now. I can't really think of anything that would be so different from Rochester, as far as living there goes. Are you looking for suggestions on where to live? My bf is from Dewitt which is right near East Syracuse, and it's perfectly pleasant and probably convenient to your job in E syracuse (where is east syracuse, by the way?).

sorry - I meant where *in* east syracuse?

Thank you.

We are thinking right now of looking at Dewitt, Fayettville or Manlius.

All would be options. Great thing about a non-enormous city is commuting isn't too crazy.
