I’m thinking of creating a new t-shirt to compete with “Ithaca is Gorges.” It would read something like “Ithaca is the middle of freakin’ nowhere,” or “You know you’re in Ithaca when you get excited to go to Wegmans.” Beyond taking on the “Ithaca is Gorges” establishment, the shirts would prove strikingly illustrative of the fact that Cornell really is its own world.
