Syracuse, New York

Tipperary's upside-down traffic light (the only one in the nation) derives from Syracuse’s proud Irish heritage. The locals wouldn't stand for British red sitting on top of Irish green. They repeatedly threw stones to break the lights. Eventually, the city's council relented, and an upside-down traffic light has directed cars at Tipperary Hill ever since.

It was our introduction to a surprisingly fun and interesting city.
