If anyone happens to visit Ithaca this weekend I think you might enjoy the annual Porchfest in the Fall Creek neighborhood. It's a walk around musical extravaganza featuring local folks.


Here's some info:

Maybe this could be the first step in consolidation of the city and county (or at least the city and town). From the Ithaca Times:

I gotta admit I don't know squat about Harry Potter, but apparently plenty of folks in Ithaca do. Check out this article from the Ithaca Voice:

^ Hey ithacat, good to see you're still around. I've been reading all those articles and checking out the pics of the event in the Ithaca Voice. Seems it's going to be an annual event. Should help fill all those new hotel rooms.
