End of an era. I'm sad to report a place deep in my youthful memory is no more. Though I was only 17 (and the drinking age at the time was 18) I recall being with a large group of friends as we drank mass quantities of brew at the Chapter House. The Chappy was only 1/2 block from my apartment building. After leaving the bar there was a heated discussion with a nearby printing office of Cornell's chapter of SDS. Ahhhh, fun times.
Since that initial night I had tried to visit whenever I returned to Ithaca.
All that to say last night the Chapter House and a nearby apartment building burned out:

Though I quit drinking years ago, here's a toast to an old favorite.
