Armory Square Mobile Website & App
Date:
July 2012
Details:
Armory Square recently updated its website, mobile website and Android mobile app. While our main website continues to serve a great number of people with information about the local businesses and events, with more people going to the web via mobile phones and tablets, we wanted to make sure they had easy, quick access.
Our main site uses Adobe Flash animated components, which can't be seen in many mobile devices. Our new mobile site is a much sleeker, slimmed down version with quick access to business listings. Both the mobile site and app use the same databases and information for business and and event listings as our main site, but provide it in a simpler format for small screens. This means when we update our listings and information, it will automatically be updated on both versions of our website and app. The app - available for Android devices on GoogleTM Play - is very similar to the mobile site with the added advantage of allowing Android device users to install it for fast access. Additionally, the Armory Square Twitter and Facebook are integrated across all platforms, with the Twitter feed always showing the latest tweets about deals, events, news and much more.
The site has been maintained voluntarily for the past several years by Lerentech Solutions, a downtown Syracuse web design and tech firm. Recognizing the growing need for a site optimized for mobile, Lerentech also volunteered to build the mobile version of the website as well as the Android app free of charge for the non-profit Armory Square Association.
Users going to the site at armorysq.org from a mobile device will automatically be redirected to the mobile version, with an option to switch to the main site design. Android users can download the Armory Square App here.

Armory Square Book
Date:
June 22, 2009
Details:
On June 22nd, the much-anticipated book, "Armory Square: Then and Now," will be released by Arcadia Publishing. Arcadia, a leading publisher of historical books, has previously published similar books of historical photographs from the greater Syracuse area authored by Dennis Connors of the Onondaga Historical Association.
The Armory Square book, however, will be the first book to offer a "then and now" look at downtown Syracuse, featuring historic photos from the early 20th century along side photos from today. There will also be a number of photos from the period just prior to the beginning of the numerous renovations that have made Armory Square the hip, urban hot-spot it is today. In this way the book will serve to tell the story of a historic neighborhood that was at one time a thriving manufacturing district before suffering a decline, but later to be reborn as an urban neighborhood now known for fine dining, unique retail, entertainment and a lively nightlife scene.
The book was authored by Robert Podfigurny of the Armory Square Association and George Curry, a key-developer in the rebirth of Armory Square. The Onondaga Historical Association assisted a great deal in the project by providing many historical photographs and a wealth of information. A special thanks also to those individuals and businesses that provided additional support: the Downtown Committee of Syracuse; Joe Rainone of Mulrooney's Pub; Rich Sykes and RHS Holdings, LLC; Rick Tait and Pioneer Cos.; and the Armory Square Association.
The book will sell for $21.99 and will be available at Eureka Crafts in Armory Square, Barnes and Noble, Borders Books, Powell Books, Amazon.com, and many independent retailers in Syracuse. A discount is available to retailers interested in purchasing the book for resale. Armory Square area businesses interested in purchasing multiple copies, please contact Robert Podfigurny by e-mailing rob@lerentech.com. Volume discounts may be available.
