Billy Fuccillo, who operates from a base in Adams, N.Y., north of Syracuse, has spent unprecedented amounts of money on advertising that features himself on bus wraparounds and a flood of TV commercials to make himself and his business known. The tag line in his ads, which he disclosed last year cost him $2 million in 2003, is the word "Huge!"
Project Description
Armory Square and Starbucks
Originally settled in 1804, the Armory Square district began to take its current shape in the mid-19th Century. The area's proximity to the Erie Canal and major rail lines made it an ideal location for industrial operations. Most of the neighborhood's historic buildings were constructed between 1860 and 1890 as factories or warehouses.

Parking Lot on S. Franklin Street
Over 90% of downtown workers use a car, either alone or in a carpool, to travel to and from work. 50% parked in a garage, 40% in a surface lot and 4% on the street. The most important factors in choosing parking are proximity and price. 60% of workers walk less then 5 minutes from their vehicle to work place and more than 60% of workers feel safe in their parking facility and on their walk to work.
Street Sign in Little Italy
Little Italy contains several bakeries, cafés, pizzerias, restaurants, beauty salons, shops, bars and nightclubs. Its main street is North Salina Street. The north side of Syracuse has always had a great deal of residents with Italian heritage, and this neighborhood has been called Little Italy for a while. However, in 2003, the city officially designated it as such and the area was renovated.
Interstate 81 and Interstate 690
Interstate 690 is the major east-west corridor within the city of Syracuse. It connects the eastern and western suburbs with Syracuse. The freeway continues northwest as New York 690 north of Interstate 90. Interstate 690 is also one of the few Interstates with a traffic light, but this light is only in operation for a relatively short duration during the Great New York State Fair.

Sol Lewitt Sculpture at the James M. Hanley Federal Building
Sol LeWitt created the sculpture One, Two, Three as a commission for the General Services Administration. In 1962 a government committee determined that fine art should be incorporated in the designs of new federal buildings, to enrich the surrounding communities. This initiative became the Art-in-Architecture Program, and LeWitt was chosen to design a sculpture for the plaza of the James M. Hanley Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse.
Onondaga Nation Billboard
A controversial billboard off the northbound side of Route 81 catches drivers' eyes. The billboard is on Onondaga Nation Territory and it says "Onondaga Nation: where traitors, rapists, murders and non-Onondagas rule, protected by wanna-be Governor Eliot Spitzer, New York State Police, Onondaga County Sheriff."
