Syracuse, New York - Green on Top Traffic Light

Green on Top Traffic Light is referred to as "the upside-down light" by the locals. It is tradition to paint the road under the light green as soon as it becomes St. Patrick's day (12:01 AM march 17th). The fun continues as everyone swarms to Coleman's (at the end of the block) for good old fashioned Irish green beer (Only the little Irish are allowed to use the Leprechaun phone booth and Leprechaun door at the famous Coleman's.).

This is the biggest day of the year on "Tip Hill," Syracuse's "Irish" neighborhood. People spend weeks to prepare for this event. [Diana Rapp, 07/03/2008]
