Editing Armory Square (section)

==Current day==
Today, Armory Square is the home of some of Syracuse's better restaurants, at least two coffeehouses, a radio station company, dozens of small shops selling everything from band instruments to used records to women's clothing, several bars and nightclubs, [[Urban Outfitters]], Armory Massage Therapy, a newly restored upscale hotel and two tattoo parlors. A number of professional firms are also located in Armory Square, including [[Eric Mower and Associates]], [[O'Brien & Gere]], and the Sugarman Law Firm. The area is popular with students from [[Syracuse University]] and [[Le Moyne College]].

Its borders are generally considered to be the circular road around the armory (Jefferson Street) to the south, [[Onondaga Creek]] to the west, Washington Street to the north, and Clinton Street to the east.

Armory Square is also home to the '''Shot Clock Monument''', which includes a 24-second [[shot clock]] whose invention, here, was crucial to the successful development of [[basketball]] as a major sport.

A paved multi-use trail, the [[Onondaga Creekwalk]], connects the neighborhood with Onondaga Lake.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2011/10/syracuse_creekwalk_opens_conne.html|title = Onondaga Creekwalk opens, connecting Armory Square and Onondaga Lake|date = 25 October 2011}}</ref>[[Image:Armorypostcard.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Vintage postcard of the Armory]]
