Winds have only prevented the balloons from soaring once, in 1971, though they've flown lower due to weather conditions before. Much to the delight of an estimated 3.5 million people in the city and millions more watching at home, Spider-Man, Mickey Mouse and 32 others soared through the streets as usual, joined by 28 floats. The parade also included performances from "Wicked" star Cynthia Erivo, Ciara, Lainey Wilson, Debbie Gibson, Foreigner, Lil Jon, the cast of the Netflix hit animated film "KPop Demon Hunters'and more. Additionally, the Radio City Rockettes, founded in…...

5+ hour, 18+ min ago (240+ words) Syracuse, N.Y. " Fire officials are warning Central New Yorkers about the dangers of cooking on Thanksgiving and are offering safety tips to avoid fires on the holiday. Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires, with more than three times the daily average, according to the Firefighters Association of New York State. Unattended cooking is the leading cause of kitchen fires on Thanksgiving, officials said. Deep-frying a frozen turkey can also be dangerous. Fryers that immerse the turkey in hot oil can easily spill or release oil, causing severe burns, injuries and fires. Other common causes of holiday fires include items left too close to stovetops and ovens. Firefighters remind people to keep clothing, oven mitts, packaging and other flammable materials away from heat sources. Fire officials also remind people to check their stove and other cooking appliances when they…...

At syracuse.com's winter media days, we polled Section III girls basketball players on which teammate was most likely to break an opponent's ankles with a crossover this season. Here are their responses: "She's just got good handles, good movement." " Onora Vandervort "That's a tough one.

9+ hour, 56+ min ago (1758+ words) Two turkeys, one big, one small, sat side by side on Mike Joyner's dinner table. Weighing 15 pounds, the big one was a plump, store-bought bird like those sitting on millions of Americans' tables this Thanksgiving Day. The small one was a jake'a juvenile male wild turkey'that weighed about five pounds. Joyner, an avid hunter and author of six books on turkey hunting, shot it a little over a month ago. Both birds tasted similar, he said, though the wild one had a bit less fat, and its dark meat was richer in flavor. But the wild turkey was special in another way: Joyner harvested it near his home in McGraw, making it the first fall turkey from Central New York to grace his family's Thanksgiving table in 10 years.
