Syracuse, NY -- As candidate Carl Paladino steams across New York, Syracusans are remembering another kind of trail he blazed through the city as a real estate developer in the 1990s.
People all over Syracuse are digging up old records to confirm their memories: He really is the Buffalo developer who offered unheard-of cash to people who would sell their old homes and stores to make way for Rite Aid stores among the neighborhood rooftops.

Please contact me if youre interested in being added on or taken off the Carl Paladino for Governor ping list. This looks to be a fairly high volume ping list for a while, probably until the election.
I like Paladino. Too bad I’m no longer able to vote in NY.
He is a wild an seemingly honest fellow - no competition against the NY liars club though... no chance. (unless Tea Partiers carry him across).
biased article against carl paladino.
some of the people look hateful.
I should have added that the New Yorkers are just a little bit too dense to recognize that they are going under water...
Rep. Pete King (R, NY-3) the RINO had some disparaging things to say about his own party’s candidate (Paladino) on the the John Batchelor show just now.
“...Now we have independent contractors running around....” The GOP just isn’t the same.
Cry me a river you RINO SOB.
FWIW, my folks and the neighbors all received very generous offers.
Syracuse is in tne crotch of Slaughter, Morelle, and Kuhn...
f. them
wow
someone who can create jobs and make money
lets try to make like he’s an as8hole
Exqueeze me?
Pard, Upstate's made up of mostly red bits.
What we need is our own freaking state.
While we've still got some taxpayers left up here.
with disrepect........FK U king!!!
Heh... Maybe you are right there - divide up New York into separate states... You poor folks that are tied to New Youk (City) have a very hard row to hoe...heh.
Joanie Mahoney (Syracuse) is also stabbing Carl in the back. A RINO throwing her weight behind Cuomo.
A lot of good people still live in Syracuse and the Syracuse area.
We've been wanting to do that for years. Push NYC out to sea and pull the plug.
Upstate has a LOT going for it, if it weren't for the government. We have a lot of natural resources and tremendous agriculture. CNY is dairy and apple country. WNY and along Lake Ontario are wine country.
We can and do grow almost anything during the summer short of citrus and we have have an abundant supply of water and beautiful scenery.
Even Syracuse University is surprisingly conservative for a university of that size. The values of the people from the surrounding communities who work there is reflected there, except at the very highest (Chancy Nancy) levels.
NYS is not all NYC suburbs, nor are all NYers NYCers. There's a BIG difference. We're simply outnumbered.
It sure wouldn’t be the case if the article were about Cuomo.
They ALWAYS manage to find some sourpuss mug to plaster on the leading page of the article.
And King is quite the darling of some of the talk radio shows. The ones that have him on beat out Hannity with Newt! King is always on somewhere, or so it seems.
