Has it gone so far that GROTON is now considered "out of town"?

Ithacites consider pretty much anything in the area not in the Town of Ithaca and certain parts of Lansing to be "unenlightened."

My point is that Groton still has a semblance of small town sanity left.

I guess I've been away so long....

Groton was a typewriter factory enclave. And nearby Peruville was a little slice of rural West Virgnia.

Sounds like Tompkins County now resembles Greater Washington DC:

One large institutional employer, a seedy downtown, a "young peoples'" neighborhood, patches of suburbia, and some remaining rural hinterlands.
