SYRACUSE -- One local architect admits his passion for the city of Syracuse is a little over the top. 

Jason Evans, who was born and raised in the Salt City, says he'd like to re-think Syracuse -- and has a website dedicated to it called rethinksyracuse.com.  He says he'd like to make the city's unique neighborhoods even better, transforming old buildings and rundown neighborhoods into places we'd all be proud of.

On his website, Evans writes, "I am as equally enamored with the wonderful existing urban fabric of Syracuse as I am alarmed by its current apparent state of despair. I can sense, and see, the amazing potential that the city and region is poised on the edge of -- just waiting for a little push, for some people to stir things up a bit, for the dialogue to become concrete action."

What do you think?  Is Evans wasting his time, or can these changes be made to the city?  If you had the chance, how would you change the city?  Does the city really need to be changed at all?  Michael Benny and Matt Mulcahy will talk about it tonight on the CW 6 Talk @ 10.  Post your comments below -- and they might be used on air.
