Ithaca is Gorges -
9/13/2005As the saying goes in Ithaca, Ithaca is Gorges. Its a great town and has everything you would find in a big city minus the drive time. Its a very diverse town. You will see hippies walking past goths walking past 50cent all in a 30 sec span. Especialy if you are on the Commons. The state parks are beautiful!!! If you are into hiking, camping or just the outdoors in genral you will love it here. There is a strong presents of veagan, vegitarian, and all natural food eaters here. It is also growing. New buildings are going up all the time.
On the down side. It is a college town. It wouldnt even be on the map if it wernt for Cornell and Ithaca College's. Population cuts in half when school is out. Jobs are limited. I have worked retail for many years and there isnt much else here to do unless you are working for Cornell. It has evertything a big city would but it is still a small town. If you end up going to the same places people will remember you like in a small town. Which can be nice but not if you are looking to live in a city.
Ithaca is a nice place. If there were more opportunities I would probably be staying here rather than moving.
