One of Ithaca's major traffic arteries, closed since the end of April, reopens this Friday.

20th annual Share the Warmth drive kicks off this weekend

We've been inspired by the number and variety of collections over the last week or so, as determined members of the community have gathered warm clothing, toiletries, canned goods, and emergency supplies for donation to areas affected by Hurricane Sandy, in some cases delivering items at their own expense. Those efforts, though, don't change the fact that our own region has as many residents in need of warm clothing and outerwear as ever.

Meat Loaf show at State Theatre canceled in Sandy's wake

Dan Smalls Presents says the Meat Loaf concert originally scheduled for November 5th, and postponed in the wake of the storm that struck the east coast last week, has been canceled.

Shinagawa loss a sour note on an otherwise rosy night for Ithaca area Democrats

"Despite being outspent 3 to 1, we turned this race into one of the most competitive in the country with the tally so far at 51-48," said Nate Shinagawa as he conceded an improbably tight Congressional race to incumbent Tom Reed. The New York 23rd, created in this year's redistricting process with a solid Reed re-election in mind, covers Tompkins County and a rural and industrial swath of Southern Tier and Western New York counties.
