local classic commercials

If you live in Central New York chances are you have been to Sylvan Beach and Harpoon Eddies. Do you remember this classic commercial from 1992 getting you there?

Erie Canal Village is a reconstructed 19th century settlement on the site where the first shovelful of earth was turned for construction of the original Erie Canal. For years it's provided plenty of history, and great memories for families all over.

Let's take a trip back to 1987. Spuds MacKenzie made his first appearance in Bud Light commercials, Shelly Long quit Cheers, and "Here I Go Again" from Whitesnake was blasting on your radio. Locally do you remember this ad calling Syracuse the heart of New York?

Even though you've lived in Central New York your whole life do you truly know what a "Herkimer Diamond" is? Take a history lesson with this classic commercial from 1998.
