Ithaca is smallish city in a beautiful setting among hills orchards and farms on a wonderful lake.....

Cornell sits there as well as Ithaca college....

its not the worse of the worse.....

Indeed, Ithaca is in a very nice setting. I know it well.

All the debt-fed, ivory-tower, self-reinforcing leftist echo-chamber academics do have an effect on the place though.

I agree. Other than the local political scene, Ithaca is great. I've lived in or near here since 1978. Love the area.

I just pay little-to-no mind to the students, radical leftists, and other assorted crazies. There are plenty of good, normal people to work and play with.

And if you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes...
