Central New Yorkers have been treated to many memorable television moments since December 1, 1948, when WHEN-TV Channel 8 signed on the air for the first time. In a record 16 days after equipment arrived at its 101 Court Street site, the station was miraculously up and running. Syracuse’s pioneer broadcasters were eager to explore this bold, new world with programs that would entertain, educate, and inform. Syracuse Television features the zaniness of Baron Daemon, lessons from the Magic Toy Shop, and live fun from Jim Deline and the Gang and The Markert Place. Over the years, personalities and programs became familiar to Central New Yorkers. There was news coverage from Fred Hillegas, Ron Curtis, Rod Wood, and Carrie Lazarus and weather forecasts from Stormy Meredith, Big Al Roker, Dave Eichorn, and Wayne Mahar.

It starts with a tough day in court—another tough day following five unlucky years for U.N. “Flash” Stephens, Attorney at Law. Things finally seem to be turning around when he meets Searcy, who has stepped right out of every dream he ever had. But then the dream girl tries to poison him. Some sketchy apparition tells him his soul is in jeopardy. His friend and opposing counsel is bludgeoned to death. And Flash takes on a new client charged with the murder of his friend. The client believes he is Thor—the “I’m from Asgard” kind of Thor. Thor’s drop-dead gorgeous girlfriend is none other than Searcy. Flash’s ordinary life becomes a mélange of the mundane and the fantastic. Thor is facing the death penalty, Flash’s life is being threatened, and ancient secrets must be decoded before it is to late. Flash is learning firsthand that every decision creates consequence.

When Tal Smith woke up on the morning of his eighteenth birthday, the main thing on his mind was earning a full ride scholarship at a college somewhere far, far away. That changed pretty quickly. First thing that morning he was kidnapped by the local high school bullies, who then drove him out to the middle of nowhere, before throwing him out of the back of their still moving pickup truck. After pulling the burlap bag off his head, Tal discovered they’d dumped him at some tired, old, beat down gas station out in the middle of absolutely nowhere. When he pulled himself together to start the long trek back home he saw a note addressed to him, taped to the service bay door. Then the Air Hose started hissing at him, and both of the out of order Gas Pumps start ringing up text messages. All of them telling him that he had to go to the Ladies’ Room because worlds (yes, plural) depended on him. So, he went to the Ladies’ Room. When he opened the door he found himself at a place called Hunts School. The students there are in their final year of a hundred year school session, and there are nine teams competing to be the ruler of all of the known worlds (again, the plural) for the next three hundred years. Tal has the recurring problem of a ghoul that hides under his bed and tries to steal his face. He meets a draugr whose primary goal is to kill him (and eat him.) There are also some luscious siren mermaids (also trying to kill him and eat him.) He meets one amazing young woman—who he seems to get sideways with at every turn—so he’s pretty much permanently in the doghouse with her. There’s another really hot girl who’s totally into hooking up with him (she also wants to kill him, but at least she doesn’t want to eat him.) His team helps him make a simulacrum golem (who is him, but not him.) He meets Merlin (well, kinda sorta Merlin) and King Arthur (again, that would be kinda sorta King Arthur.) He learns that whoever wrote all of those old myths and stories totally got most of the details wrong. Everyone’s spelling at Hunts School is completely jacked up, the use of the letter “y” is rampant. Tal is supposed to be Seeking the Center (whatever that is) but it seems like every time he turns around someone says, “your life is forfeit,” or “you’re dead, human.” Which seemed at first to be unnecessarily negative, but apparently might be true. Since at the end of the first term he has to fight to the death for his team to advance to the next Hunt. “Finals,” takes on a completely new meaning for him. Enjoy the Journey!

Part amusement park, part museum, the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, generally known as the St. Louis World's Fair, was the turn-of-the-century forerunner of today's theme parks and megamalls. This handsome book takes readers on a tour of the fair. Images from the Missouri Historical Society's collections, many reproduced from rare glass-plate negatives, show the buildings, the "human exhibits," and even aerial views. A special chapter of snapshots taken by fairgoers provides personal views of attractions on the Fair's entertainment district, known as the Pike, and other popular destinations.
