Before he took the stage at the F-Shed at the Market on Friday, Hardwell opened up to The Daily Orange about what it’s like to juggle bus tours and music festivals, the youth-centered nature of EDM and staying “cool” to his fan base. The artist explained one of the reasons it’s important for him to do small bus tours — he said that they’re an important way to give back to his fans by coming to them.

Syrathon is a series of seven races — all different mileages and routes through Syracuse — that span throughout the warmer months of the year with the first taking place March 5 and the last Oct. 16. If participating runners log 26.2 miles by the time the races are complete, they’ve earned the honorary title of “Syrathoner” and are awarded a medal at a ceremonial breakfast after the last race.

 

Centro drivers find ways to keep things fresh

Mickey Mahan has been driving Centro busses for 20 years. Mahan is known for reading his poetry during the bus rides from South to Main campus to make the ride a little more entertaining. He compares being a bus driver to being given the key to a city. “You meet people and tour neighborhoods that you otherwise wouldn’t,” he said. “It’s a great way to see the world.”
