I live 15 minutes from Ithaca NY. The city own lock stock and barrel by Cornell University. There is absolutely no industry other than the colleges to support a local economy. In the summer the population drops by 200,000 so at times it looks desolate. To really get the full experience you have to be there during the school months. Lots of arrogant kids and even more arrogant professors. Like the saying goes in peoples republic of Ithaca - 10 square miles of fantasy and then reality.

Sounds to me like the only place the writer visited and spent any time in was the HEMP Store on the Commons.
What a crock. I've lived in or near Ithaca for over 30 years and yes it's liberal as hell and there are a lot of hippies, but it's nothing like the only city around like that. Big deal, there's a hemp store. Yawn.
To focus on that one aspect is just lame, lazy writing.

Was up there a few years ago. Cornell was once one of the most beautiful university settings I ever saw' all that "university gothic" archetecture.
But it is downright ugly these days badly over built and with so called "modern" designs that ruined the flavor of the place.
Sad.

Writer: Ithaca is 'Berkeley[1] of the East'
Can't be true. Ithaca doesn't have an operating system[2] named after it.
[1] Two things of note have come from UCBerkeley; LSD and UNIX . This is not a coincidence.
[2] Don't be fooled by cheap Finnish imitations; BSD is the One True Code. - Jim Mercer -
