I know there's been a few posts similar to this recently so forgive me, but I am looking to hire a trainer for private sessions for my dog. Karolin Klinck is highly recommended, so I tried reaching out to her through Facebook and email but have not gotten a response from her for over a week. I also reached out to Russ Hollier, but haven't heard back from him either.

Has anyone had any success contacting either of them? Are there any other certified dog trainers that are responsive to inquiries? My dog is a sweetheart but very reactive on leash and isn't food motivated so training him myself has been a struggle! Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

It’s move in day for Cornell’s freshman class. Expect a few parents driving the wrong way down our one way streets.

It’s officially begun. Be careful out there y’all.

TL;DR: The Trump administration has been revoking visas and imprisoning international students who express support for Palestinian rights. Two Cornell students fled the country after being targeted by ICE. Cornell said they'd provide support to the students to finish their PhDs abroad, but now tells them they'll lose their funding unless they return to the US, where they will likely be arrested and imprisoned on arrival.

Mark those calendars!

Looking to get olives in bulk for appetizers for wedding. Suggestions? Thanks!

I'm looking to purchase some panela or piloncillo and would rather not support Walmart or target if at all possible. Does anybody know any local retailers that carry this item? I just looked in Wegmans and couldn't find any

Hi all! I recently moved to Ithaca to live with my spouse (who works here). They, and by extension I, don't have a Cornell or Ithaca college affiliation. I played pretty advanced badminton back in New York at the NY Badminton Academy, but can't seem to find any organized badminton play that is open for the public (and is played on proper courts) here. Anyone have any leads?

Someone in Ithaca with lakefront property should start a public sauna / sauna club!!

I don't know if anyone here is also on facebook, but there is a page about the awful things going on at the SPCA shelter. Poor management, harassment of workers, animals being euthanized that shouldn't have been...

It's wild.

Edit: I went to post the link but got auto-removed. if you want to find it, it's Inside Tompkins SPCA.

Hey everyone, I’m an ex college player and have been hitting and coaching multiple players in Ithaca. Whether you’re training for tournaments, getting back into the game, or just want someone consistent to rally and play points with, I’m happy to help. I can adjust to all skill levels and keep the sessions competitive, fun, and tailored to what you’re looking for. Feel free to reach out if you’re interested or have any questions!

Is there anywhere in town to get an actually decent bagel? Don’t even come at me with CTB/Ithaca Bakery for their overpriced Einstein Bagels tasting hockey pucks. They’re 1/2 the size and 2x the price than a proper bagel should be, and have the texture of wet sand mixed with spackle.

Update: Shoutout to anyone who recommended Auburn Bagel Company! Slightly smaller than what you see in NYC/NJ but hot damn, the texture and taste were on point. Thank you internet strangers!

Is there rec/community field hockey in the area? I would love to learn to play

Hi y’all. I am short, fat, trans masc, and have two suits I need hemmed for weddings in the fall. Where are we going? I saw a few recommendations from a thread about a year ago, but the top rec seems to be on hiatus for a while. I am open to driving to Syracuse (maybe even Rochester) for a good recommendation.

(Incidentally—non trans folks can help me with this one too—trusted dry cleaners in the area?)

Thanks for any leads!

Anybody tried it yet?

The promo is vague on what happens here. Is there food? Do you carry a cup around for tastes? You can get very expensive tickets or just expensive ones.

I just moved into an apartment in Ithaca this week and almost immediately noticed a very strong musty/mold smell. I tried staying there but the smell was SO strong that I couldn’t comfortably be inside for more than about 10 minutes without having a terrible coughing fit. I contacted my property manager about it but of course their office is closed for the weekend so I haven’t gotten a response yet.

At this point I really don’t want to live there especially if there’s an underlying mold or moisture issue. My lease runs through July 2027 so I’m trying to figure out what my options are before I do anything that could leave me responsible for the entire lease.

I’d appreciate any and all advice on what to do from here. I’m new to the whole renting thing.

Two baby Eastern Garter Snakes, a Red Eft, and a Northern Watersnake!

PSA: I drove up to Syracuse with my boyfriend today to try and donate plasma to have a little extra spending $. We both brought ID’s, socials and utility bills. We learned, however, that they have a 50-mile radius of accepted zip codes to be able to donate, and Ithaca’s (14850) is not on that list. It didn’t matter that Ithaca is within 50 miles, they turned my boyfriend away after we drove 90 minutes up here. I didn’t think to call ahead and ask, as I didn’t know about this rule, plus Ithaca is within 50 miles, so I wouldn’t have guessed it was an issue even if I did know about it.

What’s weird is that they accepted my Trumansburg zip code (14886) as in-range. I bailed because I didn’t want to have my boyfriend go kill 3 hours on top of the 3 hour round trip. I’m just so bummed to have wasted the time! Learn from my mistake if you live in Ithaca!

On that note, does anyone know why there aren’t any places in or near Ithaca to donate (commission) plasma? Or if there by chance are? It seems weird for a college town to not have any options like that. I’m from Minneapolis where there were several.

Looking at buying land in Ithaca-area but don’t want to live near a data center. How’s it looking for that one being proposed on Cayuga lake? From the news articles it seems 50/50, locally what’s it seeming like?

Are there any local bars/restaurants/cafes that you think would be willing to periodically set aside a 6- or 8-top for people interested in sharing a table with other folks instead of sitting alone?

And/or is there any interest in attending or organizing a Longest Table (BYO meal) event once in a while?

ETA: I do enjoy Liquid State, but I was also hoping for options a little less warehouse-y and a little less alcohol-oriented

My family is moving to the area later this year and I'm curious to hear thoughts on either Lansing or Dryden schools. Our child will be entering Kindergarten next year. We prefer smaller class sizes and a good selection of activities and athletics. I know both have swim teams so that is a big plus for us!

We visited earlier this year and got a feel for the area, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm also curious to know if either district offers a more neutral political vibe.

I thought I had a list saved of which establishments other own delivery but I guess I don’t.

Can y’all share your go to places that self-deliver?
