Downtown Ithaca (Aurora: transplants, city hall, hotel)

[Ex-Ithacan]

This thread will stick mostly with the downtown area. It was decent weather, and done on a Monday and Tuesday.

Let's get started.




This map needs updating.





Start of the Carl Sagan Planet Walk



This truck really screwed up traffic.

















































Yeah, I touched it.









View from my hotel room



But that view will be changing by my next visit. This building across the street will be replaced with a new 8 story mixed use building.

















There is a program for local artists to paint all the electrical boxes





Bikes are a big deal in Ithaca







Looks like he hurt his tail.....





























Flags atop City Hall



West side of Aurora Street



East side of Aurora Street



My hotel

Very nice pics. I haven't been to Ithaca since the 80s and this really makes me want to return.

Great collection of pictures. Thanks for posting.

Thanks folks. There sure have been a lot of changes in the last decade or so.

Nice pictures.
Ithaca is always changing.
That is what makes the efforts of current transplants to freeze the town in amber so laughable.

And I agree with your last point.
