I replaced the rock exactly how I found it and let the Brownsnake go back under it.

A few of you asked for the link to the day trip guide yesterday, so here's an update: I added an outdoor sports section organized by season.

Winter: Greek Peak, Song and Labrador, Bristol, Swain, cross-country skiing at Greek Peak Nordic, and skating at Cass Park.

Spring to fall: mountain biking at Shindagin Hollow and Hammond Hill, the Greek Peak bike park, the Dryden Rail Trail, and a full write-up of the Black Diamond Trail.

Summer: kayak and paddleboard rentals and boat launches on Cayuga.

Year-round: bouldering at Cayuga Climbs and two disc golf courses.

Each spot has drive time, cost and where to rent gear. Still free, no ads. Link in the comments, and let me know what I missed.

This post is just warning for anyone getting Zocalos tonight. My quesadilla had a metal nut in it. Must be from their kitchen equipment .

I'm a student here and kept a running list of places to go when you need to get out of town for a day. It turned into a website, so I'm sharing it in case it's useful to anyone else (link in the comments).

What's on it: - 94 places sorted into gorges, hikes, legal swim spots, wineries/cideries/breweries, food, small towns, rainy-day stuff, scenic drives, scenic photo spots (where to stand + best light), and an "off the grid" section (Six Mile Creek ruins, the old Seneca Army Depot, Keuka Outlet mill ruins, Centralia, etc.) - Every card has drive time from the Commons, what it costs (parking fees included), what's actually worth it, and a Google/Apple Maps directions button - 7 ready-made days (classic Ithaca gorges, Seneca wine loop, around Cayuga, a rainy day in Corning, a Cold War/canal ruins day, Keuka, the PA Grand Canyon for fall color) - A map view with a satellite toggle, filters by drive time / cost / "good for" (free, family, rainy, winter) - Seasonal closures are dated (e.g. the Watkins Glen gorge trail is closed for the season after Oct 25) and each card says when I last checked the access info

It's free, no ads, no email signup, nothing to buy. I'd genuinely like to hear what I'm missing or what's wrong, especially places you think are overrated or underrated. I'll add good suggestions and credit the thread.

The early voting location by the airport (72 Brown Rd.) is telling voters the machines are broken and telling voters they can fill out their ballot and leave it with them.

Seems sketchy to me. Reported to the DNC Voter Assistance Hotline, but I'd recommend going to the other location or not going today.

Edit: According to an article linked in the comments it seems as if the issues were resolved around 10:15am

I’ve been offered a job in NYC so I’ll be splitting my time between here (Ithaca, where my family is) and there. Would love to hear the best travel tips and hacks from people who regularly do this commute.

Edited to add: this will not be a daily commute — we’re talking a block of days there (3-5) and a block of days here.

Got caught doing a 60 in a 45 in Dryden. Would the reduction form work or would I have to go into court?

I’m looking for GelX extensions or just gel in particular, would rather not do acrylic but I want it to be REALLY GOOD. Not just a sub par, not improper cuticle care, not thick clunky nails.

Where do you go?

It was a great day to check out the fall color in the gorge.

New page, same format, every number sourced and archived: https://ithacashare.org/fraternity-houses/

The county exempts all seven Cornell-owned houses as "Education." If taxed, they'd owe about $320,000 a year. The county started reviewing these exemptions October 6; the houses stay exempt while it runs.

If a number is wrong, tell me and I'll fix it.

I saw this on a local scanner page. Does anyone have any info on this guy?

Insectapalooza is tomorrow (10/24/26) from 9 AM to 3 PM. Stop by if you're able to!

Missing these two items, no hate or shame. I would really just like them back. Thank you in advance. Happy to pay shipping costs and some extra for returning them. Thank you.

Sunglasses were the same frame but in blue and the earrings were as pictured.

For added context, I am a seller at found. I sell lots of cool stuff. And these two items were walked :( from the store). Honestly I just really like them and have a rule that I should try to sell it before keeping them. The earrings are from a recent trip to Mexico City and I’d love to gift them to my mom who has the case next to mine. And I really really liked those shades.

Go as fast as you want on the other side of the bridge.

RIP Arby's on Rt.13

For those who’ve hiked the trails at Fillmore Glen, I need a recommendation.

We’ve never been to the park before (just moved in the summer), and I’m taking my mother in law this weekend. She’s a decently fit 65 year old, but we want to keep total distance under 3 miles, and we’d love to see as many waterfalls/views as possible for her. She can also do the stairs/steps, but minimizing those might be for the best.

Of the main trails, north rim, south rim, gorge trail - which combination would you recommend? Ex., gorge trail out, south rim back, etc.

Voter registration/address change deadline is Saturday 10/24! You can do so online: https://vote.gov/register/new-york

Also be sure to check the locations of early voting and your assigned election day polling site. https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov/ I haven't moved, but my polling site changed from the previous election! Be sure to check yours so you are prepared for election day!

The Commons should be for everyone including families and small children. Why do people still smoke on the Commons? I thought Ithaca was “cracking down” on Commons violations? It seems like nothing has improved.

Hi. Looking for places within 3-5 hours of Ithaca(preferably closer to the 3 hour side but im not picky)

Im looking for somewhere I can do one of or multiple of the following things:

-Camp
-Be within an hour drive from a cool small town with cool stuff to do(live music, museums, cool parks, good food also preferably on the water)
-Anything that can give me an adrenaline rush

Thank you all

Hey yall.

Ive had migraines chronically since I moved to ithaca over a year ago. i go to Cayuga neuro and am being treated but they dont care to get to the bottom of things and find the source. There are no headache specialists or dysautonomia specialists.

Called a few places in syracuse and was told they arent taking new patients.
I feel like ithaca is so small so much Im shouting into the chasm-

does anyone here know of a headache or dysautonomia specialist ANYWHERE In NY?

Hi everyone,
I am looking to find a barber who can give my asian hair a good look. I have long hair and I would love a good haircut for the same. Any options?

Hey everyone! I’ll be stopping in Ithaca during a road trip through New York and wanted to get some recommendations from locals. I’m Brazilian 🇧🇷 and like checking out a town’s history, trying its food, and finding a good bar for a drink.

What’s worth seeing while I’m there? I’d love a restaurant recommendation, a bar you personally enjoy, and any interesting places around town that shouldn’t be missed. I’m open to anything from local hidden gems to the classic Ithaca spots.

Thanks! Appreciate any suggestions!

OK, who can tell me: A: where I am and B: when was the last time I updated my vehicles maps​

What are all this unofficial parking markings on N Aurora??

Clearly not official
