A steel beam on an aging Syracuse parking garage sinks 9 inches without notice. What happened? City masons doing a minor repair in a prominent 550-car downtown parking garage Nov. 3 picked up something odd: a sheared bolt. Syracuse officials investigated and made a startling discovery: A steel beam helping to hold up the seven-story structure had sunk 9 inches into the ground in recent months, 40 years after its construction. The failure leaves in doubt the future of the city-owned garage.

Free throws nearly cost Syracuse vs. Monmouth; how can Orange fix the problem?
