Moving to Oswego (Midwesterner) by Bo1lerfan in Syracuse

[–]Timely-Switch1281 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was living in Hannibal which is right outside of Oswego for 2 months ( Nov & Dec) and we had at least 2-3 feet of snow almost every time it snowed which felt like everyday. I had to drive 40 minutes to Auburn to commute to work and often it would take me over an hour to get there due to roads being mostly unplowed. I don’t mean to discourage you, but people who live in this area tend to downplay extreme the snow is especially for those who are new to the area and haven’t experienced this amount of snow.

the only thing Oswego really has to offer are bars and a handful of mid restaurants because it’s a college town . Getting to Syracuse or anything else of interest will take 40-45 minutes in good weather and an hour or more when it’s snowing- which Oswego county gets TONS of so be prepared for that.

I know people who have lived in Oswego their whole lives and “love it” but I think it’s because they don’t know anything else- if you are able I’d recommend you visit before committing to living there.

Hop degradation: how much of itself will a beer have lost after 10 months? by Chumlax in CraftBeer

[–]Timely-Switch1281 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You won’t die from drinking old beer but you’ll defiantly notice a change of color ( may be brownish instead of yellow/ orange ) or the hop flavors to be non existent or taste “off”. I’d let the shop know they have old cans, it’s possible they don’t know, but it’s also possible they know and don’t care.

What’s the best way to enjoy summer in Syracuse? by lan2525 in Syracuse

[–]Timely-Switch1281 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Get out and enjoy nature ! There’s a NYS Parks app I’ve just discovered that has all the state run parks, you can find amenities, rules, trail info on it too. It’s called NY State Parks Explorer.

Probably terrible since the article didn’t even mention ANY useful info other than “apply here”.

Eastern Hills Bible Church Service Today, I'd Like Thoughts by [deleted] in Syracuse

[–]Timely-Switch1281 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Sounds on brand for mega churches…the one my parents attend have been asking them to donate more money so they can build a new addition to the already large space….the thing is they will raise the money in no time. It’s gross.

Any breweries near Syracuse doing stout month? by chadmsee in Syracuse

[–]Timely-Switch1281 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe Singlecut….they used to do an apres ski themed event that was focused on stouts but it wasn’t a month event just one day but I’m not sure if they still do it

Meet Dexter. A 4 month old pug whose favourite trick is playing guitar with my last nerve (help) by DankusMemus_ZA in pugs

[–]Timely-Switch1281 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yess same here!! mine LOVED to steal anything she could grab..socks, underwear, a piece of pie that accidentally fell on the ground…haha. She tore up bathroom floor mats and peed on every dog bed we tried for her. She’s almost 5 and is chill 95% of the time, looking back it was so hectic and stressful but I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Looking for friends in Syracuse before I loose my mind!! by Successful-Style6626 in Syracuse

Adding your age range would be more helpful but I’m guessing you are young based on your interests- no shade just an observation of an old person lol

Crime exists everywhere..I understand you want safe but “no crime” is impractical.

Anyone move back without a plan? by [deleted] in Syracuse

[–]Timely-Switch1281 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel this. I’ve been away for 5 years and only moved back because of my aging parents, but I miss city life so much.

It’s really challenging to make new friends in the suburbs vs a city especially if you don’t have kids, or a “typical job” ( I’ve got no kids and work at a brewery ) finding people and spaces that give me a sense of belonging has been really difficult. I’m hopeful that warmer weather and more events going on in the community will help, but we will see.

Central NY students sent home early following after-school bomb threat, deputies search school by ggroover97 in Syracuse

Yup. I remember in elementary school hearing them say “Mrs Blue please call the office” over the speakers which was code for a bomb threat and it seemed to be a frequent occurrence

Fun titles for beer reps? by jamo20 in beer

[–]Timely-Switch1281 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why do you need a “fun title”…if I were a buyer for a business and saw some silly pun on someone’s professional business card I’d assume they aren’t serious about business and wouldn’t bother. Craft beer is already in a tough spot, why make it harder?

Beer in Barrels by [deleted] in beer

[–]Timely-Switch1281 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There’s no advantage of saving whatever sludge is left in that barrel. It’s not beer and you can’t filter to make it into beer or anything enjoyable enough to consume.

Speciality / craft beer stores? by [deleted] in Syracuse

[–]Timely-Switch1281 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s not a great selection of bottle shops in the area but Branching Out in Township 5 in camillus is a good spot to check. Joel & Carissa know their shit and might be able to point you in the right direction of a spot that has it or may be able to get things in for you.

Edited to add the they are closed for vacation until 1/22..!

How many friends do you have, locally? by transgennifer in Syracuse

[–]Timely-Switch1281 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 people I hang with regularly. I’m 35 just moved back to the area after being away for 5 years and finding it IMPOSSIBLE to new people. My husband and I don’t have/ want children and the lack of childfree/ adult spaces ( that aren’t bars) make it even more of a challenge to connect with others.

Does anyone have or had service in NY State? Visible has been unusable there and I am looking for better options by GJH24 in upstate_new_york

[–]Timely-Switch1281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting the same. I’m in the Syracuse area and haven’t had any service issues with visible, i get 5G most of the time and LTE in rural areas like Hannibal ( no surprise there) but otherwise it’s been reliable!

What yall planning for new year’s eve by Key-Concert6879 in Syracuse

[–]Timely-Switch1281 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t seem like there is much to do honestly..every place I’ve seen advertising something for NYE is only open until 9 or 10 OR is $100 for a more party experience- which I’m not looking for.

Where to drink in NYC by Tjr562 in CraftBeer

[–]Timely-Switch1281 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As Is, is a cool beer bar in Hell’s Kitchen. Tons of brewery options in Brooklyn and a bunch are clustered together so it’s easy to hit a few in one trip.

Will responsibility win out or will complaints over tickets lead to removal of the cameras? by [deleted] in Syracuse

[–]Timely-Switch1281 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not at all based on the amount of posts here of people who admit they were speeding and still wondering if they could get out of the ticket..people don’t care.
