I have been following the reactions to the death of David Lynch on social media over the last week. He appears to have been a wonderfully weird human being and, to many, the world seems like a smaller place without him.

The director David Lynch, who died last week at 78, was a master of surreal cinema, known for the dreamlike quality of films like The Elephant Man and Mulholland Drive, and for the TV series Twin Peaks.

The Onondaga County Clerk’s office registered 110 home sales during the week of Jan. 12 to 18. The most expensive home on the list is a five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home built in 2024.
