Good morning, Syracuse.

Today, fans watch World Cup games at Wolff’s Biergarten while the James Cook Youth Football Camp begins Tuesday.

A community meeting on James Street is set Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. and a Comprehensive Plan meeting plus Jazz Fest on campus start Thursday.

Families visited Luv Handlz Sunday to celebrate its four-year milestone with an event featuring frozen yogurt, games, and a preview of a new truck that will serve festivals, schools, and weddings across Central New York (the shop has given over $100,000 back to local charities).

A Cicero family was displaced after a fire started in the attached garage and spread to their home on Saturday night at 5981 Sneller Rd. — firefighters reported that all residents escaped safely despite challenges with water access.

Mi Rancho Alegre will open a new restaurant in Bridgeport, Cicero at 7991 Route 31, renovating a 2,711 sqft former Bridgeport Dinner location and adding a patio, with plans pending at the town planning board (the chain already operates a North Syracuse location).

Taxpayers who were charged penalties or interest during COVID can claim refunds by filing Form 843 by July 10; the refund covers fees for tax returns from 2019 through 2022 under the Kwong vs. United States ruling.

SPD has increased patrols during festival season by adding extra officers (including student resource officers) to support security and community safety.

Neighbors are urged to stay alert and report details if they witness any incidents.

City crews are repairing a water main break that closed the intersection at East Onondaga Street and South Warren Street downtown, disrupting water service and causing travel delays.

Drivers are urged to plan their routes as detours remain in place.

The Onondaga County Clerk’s office recorded 141 home sales from June 21 to 27, including a waterfront home in Spafford that sold for $1.2 million on a 3.19-acre lot (sales data comes from county records).
