Tipperary Hill Green on Top Traffic Light

Tipperary Hill Green on Top Traffic Light

I've always been told of the legend of the traffic light with the green as the top light, and the…read morered as the bottom. Figuring me, a naive child, I thought it absolutely silly, ridiculous even! BUT, little did I know the true impact of the odd little traffic signal. Little did I know that not only did this traffic signal EXIST, but that I would be coming to visit it in my late 20's during a trip to Syracuse, after my cousin reminded me that it was even a thing when we were trying to figure out how to spend our time in town. The traffic light is in a neighborhood. It's said that the "Irish Youths" kept breaking the red 'British' light because it was above their Irish green. Yeah. That's definitely something an Irish person would do. (I'm Irish. I've seen worse. I've acted worse.) It's honestly such a testament to the pride and persistence of humanity. They tried to switch the lights back to the way they're supposed to be displayed (because of the colorblind) but the stoplight continued getting vandalized. This went on for three whole years. Amazing. There's a few irish pubs in the neighborhood, so once you drive through the intersection of this traffic light, be sure to stop somewhere for a pint of Guinness and toast to the Irish youths who made this a thing so we could write Yelp reviews for it a hundred years later.

I had read about the light on Tipperary Hill. I happened to be in neighborhood after leaving…read moreBurnett Park looking for great views of Syracuse I saw the sign welcoming folks to Tipperary Hill and decide to detour up hill before h3adung to Schiller Park. As described, I drove up a small hill past two green lights then came to this red light! Syracuse landmark found a recess coffee after I made right at light.

Not just another light display. I LOVE stories like this and I just HAD to share!!…read more This "holiday house" which also has a drive thru-aspect, including a live nativity with rabbits, a sheep, ducks, a goat and geese has been one of our Christmas Eve family traditions for almost a decade now. It was only until recently we found out the story behind the home and that one of our beloved yuletide traditions is the same for a recorded 12,000 other people in the region including buses and vans with residents from local seniors homes, handicapped and terminally ill children also. Tom Culkin (no relation to Macaulay, I believe... but kind of ironic, don't you think?) is the owner of the home. He is now 66 years old and a former city police detective. He began decorating his house for Christmas 37 years ago when his daughters were just little girls. He received tremendous response from neighbors, friends and family, he decided to make it an annual event. The house is decorated with the latest popular children's characters drawn by local artist Jeff D'Angelo. Each year they add a new one to the display! Expect to also see Minions from "Despicable Me" and Sully and Mike from "Monsters, Inc."Ariel and Snow White, as well as Dora the Explorer, Bear in the Big Blue House, the Grinch, Woody and Buzz Lightyear from "Toy Story," the Wiggles, Nemo, Lady and the Tramp, Anna, Elsa and Olaf, Star Wars,Jack Skeleton and more! Don't miss Santa with his list and check if your name is on there! There is no donation box despite the high electric bill the display creates, and when asked about it the response was "It's the Culkin family present to everyone". Love this! I have personally never seen him, but as Dec. 25 rolls around a family friend dresses as Santa Claus and stands outside as part of the display on various nights handing out more than 3,000 candy canes and makes sure to have a word with each child. We combine a drive here (with at least two loops around) with the house down on Orchard St, a drive through Nay Aug Park and a free presentation of The Nutcracker at Marywood. This has been our traditional Christmas "tour" of Scranton and we just LOVE it!! Year after year.
