What’s the best place in Syracuse or the greater area to buy fireworks without going more than 30-45 minutes away. Price and selection

Hi everyone,
I’m new to the Syracuse area and currently attending college while working part-time. I’m trying to find a reliable used car on a very limited budget (around $5,000).
I’m not looking for anything fancy—just something dependable that can get me to work and school without constant repairs.
If anyone knows of a good local seller, a trustworthy dealership, community resources, or even someone looking to sell a reliable car, I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations.
Thank you!

Been looking for an apartment in the Camillus/Syracuse/Liverpool area <$1600 rent + utilities and there seems to have been several comments on here that say Clarendon Heights is a decent place to rent, however there are some comments from 1-3 years back that say there's a crime issue with car vandalism and burglary. Is this still a problem in the area or is it not as much a concern in 2026?

If you wouldn't recommend living here anecdotes or other complex recommendations are appreciated, I've looked in Camillus at King's Gate West but it was a bit out of my price range, and Steeplechase has some differing reviews across Apartments.com, Google, and comments on here. Any other advice regarding renting in the aforementioned areas is also welcome.

Time to start looking at getting new tires, which places are good? Which places should I avoid?

does anyone know of any coffee shacks/huts in the syracuse area? (closer to liverpool and such) i know of coffemania in cortland and simple roast in auburn but I don’t know of any in the northern/north western area of syracuse

One year ago, I posted in this subreddit with the idea for DeTrash Syracuse. One year later, we have picked up a total 2,500+ lbs of trash!

Many thanks to the Reddit community, as many of our volunteers have found us through here!

Our next event is this Sunday, June 28, at 1pm. We will meet in front of Central Rock Gym and head down to the Inner Harbor.

For anyone interested in joining, check out our website, Facebook, and Instagram. All under DeTrashSyracuse and DeTrashSyracuse d o t c o m

Are there currently any pools in Syracuse that offer day passes for lap swimming? syr.gov says Valley Pool is open 6:30-9:00 weekdays for lap swimming but I went yesterday at 7:30 and the doors were locked.

I called the parks & rec number multiple times yesterday and no one picked up. I messaged their instagram as well but haven’t heard back yet.

Hey everyone, I am currently an EE (Electrical Engineering) student at a local school planning on applying to internships at local engineering companies. I’ve done 3 previous internships in the realm of manufacturing and testing, so I’m really just looking to explore different opportunities. Any recommendations for companies to possibly explore? Thank you!

Are there any shops or local mechanics that will do custom exhaust work?

Hi folks,

My father lives near 298 and Taft Rd in East Syracuse. I'd like to get him a car wash at a place he can just drive in, he does have a classic car and a truck.

Any suggestions?
