My wife and I miss Wegmans terribly. It is the standard by which all large supermarkets should be judged. Jeremy Rabkin is an excellent choice, too.

"Cast your Best of Ithaca ballot on-line! Be sure to include your name and address, and if you're one of the lucky 10 people chosen at random you'll win a gift certificate for dinner-for-2 at an Ithaca restaurant. Only one entry per person, and any attempts at ballot stuffing will be disqualified. Entries must be received by Friday, August 30."
Okay, Freepers, last year we were able to FREEP this poll so that Cornell's only conservative professor (and Ann Coulter's mentor), Jeremy Rabkin, was voted best professor (funny how that catagory is gone this year...heh.
We were also able to flood the "best reason to leave Ithaca" catagory with complaints that Ithaca was too liberal.
SO LET'S DO IT AGAIN!!!! YEAH!!!!

As far as putting your name and address down, I believe they only want one if you want to be entered in their drawing for a free meal, so you can leave that blank if you want.
If, however, you want to submit a fake name and address, you can use this site to find every street name in Ithaca (simply go to the "Find your city representative and property information" portion, it has an alphabetical list), pick a street, put in a three digit street number and use "14850" as your zip code).
Names and email addresses are up to you.
And since most of you don't know a lot of Ithaca "local" trivia, here are some suggestions for each catagory:
Best place to have a picnic: put in any of the local parks, Treman, Buttermilk, Stewart, Cass
Best place to take a blind date: Put in any of the following: Madeline's, Simeon's, Statler, Maxie's,Boatyard
