Around Town

 A few highlights and lowlights from around Ithaca this summer.

This puddle has persisted at one of the busiest pedestrian crossings in the city for almost 10 years.  I've posted pictures of it before, I'll probably post them again.


Construction in Collegetown is proceeding.  At least they have finished the utilities and put a real street back in place so it looks tidy.  Until they start another huge building and tear it all up again.


A big tree came off the gorge wall in Cascadilla the other day.  I keep telling the Powers that Be the fraternities above this should be condemned and removed before they fall into the creek too, but they say they can't even get the fraternities to stop directing all their roof drains over the edge of the gorge.  See "Vermont flooding".


 I often try to make an effort to see how the mist is dancing by the 30' Dam in Six Mile Creek.  On this still day it just hovered and was accented by morning fog all through the gorge.
