Divine, you might want to also post in the Syracuse forum as Cortland is in the Central NY region. Also, use "Cortland" in your subject line and you'll probably get more responses.

Cortland County is not included in the Syracuse area forum. Only Onondaga County, parts of Madison and Oswego counties are...

Cortland is over a half hour away from the Syracuse area and is not even in Syracuse's Metropolitan area. I know very little about Cortland since it's so rural and is more connected with Ithaca's Metro than Syracuse's.
