Removed "Residents of other nearby municipalities think that's pretty typical. " after the Utne reader comment, and added NPOV discussion of conflict with surrounding communities.
much improved. Of course, it doesn't answer the basic question of non-Ithacans about why they are so pleased about themselves, but it is much more explanatory. They do have good beer and bookstores. One also needs "Ithaca Bucks" and cars held together with bumper stickers to have a complete entry, but I'm in no position to be neutral about 70s refugees. --

glad you like it. And it's Ithaca
Hours not Ithaca Bucks. Either way though, I'm putting that in the article. And good grocery stores, as far as I'm concerned... I moved away 3 years ago, and have not yet found a grocery store as good as either Tops or Wegmans. But that doesn't really seem like a good thing to put in the wikipedia. --

ah, but Wegman's is a Rochester concern, and if you like the Ithaca wegman's (which I understand), you should see the one in Pittsford. Grocery heaven. Tops is based in Buffalo, I think. --
