Enjoyed seeing the work of

students at Ithaca Arthaus this evening. The project was to imagine affordable housing solutions for the properties next to Arthaus.

Apparently this No Kings rally in Albany stretches 2.5 miles.
It's a difficult housing market, but Ithaca's Collegetown is still a solid investment. Just filed, an $18,248,000 construction loan from Five Star Bank for a 46-unit, 88-bed apartment building at 201 Oak Avenue. Modern Living Rentals is the dev, Bella Faccia Cons. is the builder.
The incumbent D had a debilitating stroke and the party did their best to hide to hide her for six months "Weekend at Bernie's" style.
Came back to Ithaca to attend commencement and cheer for two of my former students, both international. I’m the only guest in my Airbnb, normally packed. “Foreign families didn’t come this year.” 1/
403 E. State, now known as "Theory Ithaca". 371 units, 518 beds. Marketed as grad/professional housing. $107 million construction loan, Aug 2027 completion.
Last Tuesday, I was set to give a talk on 'climate change in the Northeast' at a retirement home but had to cancel due to hourly job threats.
After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected.
A new restaurant is coming soon where Agava used to be on Ithaca’s east hill. www.14850.com/021840074-bg...
most journalists today can be divided into two groups: dedicated, impoverished people who mostly write for publications you've never heard of that started eighteen months ago or JP Random House The First, who writes columns for the New York Times about which ethnic groups it should be OK to hunt
Anytime a storm is brewing, your local forecasters are getting the latest data from NOAA. As the agency faces an uncertain future, one thing's for sure: for-profit companies would struggle to replicate NOAA's weather-forecasting prowess.

Above find grey sky, below find a snowy area with orange cranes and port-a-potties, to the left you can see a bit of a building where the windows are bluish and separated by horizontal brown stripes
I don't know how much they've got left to do inside, but the facade is shaping up for the new building for Cornell's Computer Science Department

This should be a five-alarm fire for Weill Cornell and for the biomed/bio eng departments at Cornell. These cuts would essentially wipe out the programs.
About 213 of 480 acres.
Sold for $2,006,020 on Friday - former Bell Station acreage Finger Lakes Land Trust to a solar company out of Utah. It might ruffle some feathers, but taking the former farmland and selling it for a solar facility had always been part of the plan. ithacavoice.org/2022/05/fing...
“There is not sufficient community support for the project for us to take on the financial risk of going forward.”

Pictures shared on a community Facebook group of what eye witnesses assume are ICE agents outside the Tompkins County Department of Social Services. Taken ~ 1 hr. ago.
We're getting reports of ICE agents spotted in Tompkins County and the Ithaca area, specifically in Dryden and at the Asteri housing complex on Green Street in downtown Ithaca.

Cornell received about $319 million in NIH grants at its Weill College of Medicine in 2023, and that's not even in the top 20 for schools. This move by the new admin would have a devastating impact on health research.
A petition launched yesterday calling on Cornell University to help keep Ithaca's Museum of the Earth from foreclosing has over 1,300 sigs. Its financial woes intensified after a group of once reliable donors couldn't fulfil a $30M pledge-via:@ithacavoice.bsky.social.

Following the sharp increase in property assessments last year, Tompkins County’s Office of Assessment is expected to halt reassessments on most homes in 2025 as the local real estate market faces its weakest sales in over a decade.
My latest for @ithacatimes.bsky.social
Picture of the Hyde Park mastodon, I think. Image is facing the front side of the mastodon; its tusks loom large. It stands in front of blue backgrounds.
This is terrible news. 🧪

Some I've built, some are from garage and estate sales (especially the greenery and vehicles). I started doing this back in college, so over 15 years.
Maybe it's because of what I do. Maybe it's because I have weird hobbies. But this is my basement. And it follows good urban planning.
I can hardly wait for thermostatic public opinion to have this asshole doing a 180 in two years.
It's a lot prettier than a lot of what's been built in the past 70+ years.
