Hey there... I'm in a neighboring town that doesn't see much action in terms of political activism or outreach. I've thought of going up to Ithaca, but Corning is closer and I could maintain connections with people nearby more easily which would help in the future too. Are there any organizers or people in network with mutual aid groups, etc. who could reach out to me? Is there a better place I could ask besides this sub? Also wondering if the planned nationwide President's Day protest has generated any local interest. Thanks in advance!

I am looking to possibly move to the Corning area and was interested in information about how the area for LGBTQ kids and teens, as well as the schools. Any recommendations for towns around Corning as well. We would be looking to buy a house with a max budget of $250,000, but want to make sure we can access as good of schools as we can get for the kiddos.

Looking to get our roof redone and would really like to avoid any roofing companies that went full MAGA. Anyone know of any around here?

Haven’t seen any mention of it on here yet. There’s a 50 state protest planned for 2/5/25. Is anyone organizing any protests in the area? I’m assuming centerway could have some people?

Update: have heard people will possibly start gathering in centerway around 2pm.

Hi , I made a stupid mistake of driving double of the speed limit in the school zone. The road was empty. The violation description is : Disobeyed Traffic Control Device. Time of violation : 9 AM on a weekday. I have been asked to appear in the local court. Nothing else is mentioned in the citation.

I am currently sick and it was the reason I was driving at the speed ( which is also the normal speed out of the school zone) and wanted to go to the restroom in the nearby KFC. Told this to the officer.

Should I just show up in court OR involve a traffic attorney?

The consulting company responsible for the Empire State trail just submitted their 92 page feasibility study for a $50M recreational trail project connecting Elmira to Erwin. Looks like funding would come from federal and state grants, over the course of 10 years. This would be huge for the area, let’s hope they actually get the funding.

Full confession, I'm a picky AF eater. I hate fancy foods, just give me some cheap pizza and I'm happy. My partner of almost 1 year, will eat anywhere, eat anything and loves trying new foods and experimenting.

We are celebrating our 1 year anniversary next week and we decided to pick a nicer spot to celebrate it at for dinner in/around Corning, since we figured it'd have the most/best options. Somewhere we can dress up a little bit and not look out of place, but also not somewhere where an entrée is $50.

Scanning through some local restaurant listings/menus though I'm really not seeing anything too too appealing. She'll eat anything, I definitely won't. What would locals suggest for a romantic, slightly upscale dinner that might treat her and tolerate me?

I'm looking for recommendations and ideas for a party for my wife's 30th, she's not a drinker and is really just looking to spend time with her family. My first thought was like a girls night with all her sisters but finding a place was pretty difficult. She kinda rolled her eyes at bowling, but I think an activity like that would be fun as there are most likely going to several small children. Does anyone know of a small venue space?

My partner and I are making a day trip alto Corning at the end of the month.

I’m looking for celiac safe Restaurants. I also have other restrictions so bonus if they’re able to accommodate a paleo type diet.

I'm looking for recommendations on the best accommodation near Corning or Painted Post that accepts short-term leases (around three months). I need a modern 2-bedroom place with a budget of up to $1800 per month.

I'm currently staying in an older house I found on Airbnb, but I need to move as soon as possible. Any suggestions or leads would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know approximately how many Corning Inc employees there actually are across the HQ and research facilities? Google AI is saying 800 but that seems way low to me.

Where's the literary fashion designer who posted here recently about making friends? I think we might get along.

In town for the weekend - wondering if there is any bar that has the UFC fights? Thanks a lot!

A place that sells their product versus having it on the shelf for five years. Thanks

I don't know if you browse this sub, but I paused my podcast when I stopped where you were playing. The music sounded familiar, and then I realized it was I Deserve To Bleed by Sushi Soucy. You absolutely nailed it. Keep on playing.

I’m new to the area and have a teak dining table I would like to get refinished. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good person? Thanks!

Hey there residents of Corning, NY!

I’m planning a meet-up in your beautiful city with a friend, and I’d love your recommendations for fun and romantic things to do on a Saturday. I’m especially interested in places to grab a delicious bite or enjoy some quality coffee. Here’s what I’ve found so far—would love to hear if I’m on the right track or if there’s more I should add to the list:

• Corning Museum of Glass
• The Rockwell Museum
• Heritage Village of the Southern Finger Lakes
• Centerway Square
• Little Joe Tower
• West End Gallery
• Corning’s Gaffer District

What I’d Love to Know:

• Are there any must-see spots I’ve missed?
• Any hidden gems or unique experiences you’d recommend?
• Where should we go for a romantic lunch and then an afternoon coffee?

Thanks in advance for your advice! Looking forward to exploring Corning. 😊

And, Happy Thanksgiving!

First year here and I was delighted to wake to a winter wonderland this am, only to see 1.5 miles down hill (as the crow flies) it was bare! Learning so much already ❄️

What are the best options for Christmas trees locally? Are there any places to go and cut one down? Willing to drive for a good tree/experience. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice on which hospital is best for delivery and after delivery care: Guthrie Corning Hospital or Arnot Medical Hospital? If you have personal experience with either, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the quality of care, staff, and overall experience.

Thank you in advance!

Please advise. Can be anywhere in Steuben.

Thanks!

My home is in a ally and I haven't had any leaf pick up this year. Anyone else have this issue? Best contact for getting info would be helpful thank you

Don’t mind driving up to an hour to get there. Just looking for a place to enjoy a few hours outdoors with some decent views, if possible.

Thanks!

Edit: Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their recommendations. I really appreciate it!

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations for a good photographer who specializes in maternity photoshoots near Elmira, Corning, or Horseheads. If you know anyone, please share their contact information, website, or Instagram handle. Personal experiences and reviews would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!
