Ithaca Minute – Stone Quarry Road, Buffalo Street Books, Say Something


Listen Later

Here’s the Ithaca Minute for October 3rd!

The City of Ithaca says they’re paving Stone Quarry Road from Spencer Road to the city line this week, and weather permitting, the project will be done by Friday, October 6. The project includes repairing the road base and then paving the road, which runs from South Hill to Ithaca’s southwest.

Driveways will be accessible during the project, say city officials, but there may be some delays on paving days.

Six years ago, an effort to turn a declining independent bookstore in Downtown Ithaca into a community-owned cooperative saved Buffalo Street Books, and now the store’s executive board has called an emergency meeting to decide what’s next. “Though we have cut the yearly losses, the store continues to lose money every single year,” they say. The emergency owners meeting, at which all interested community members are welcome, is at 7pm on Thursday, October 12th in the BSB store in the Dewitt Mall at 215 North Cayuga Street.

And the Ithaca Fire Department put out a reminder on its Facebook page Monday morning to alert authorities if something seems out of place, in the wake of Sunday night’s mass shooting incident in Las Vegas. Ithaca Fire Department also suggests, “Practice evacuation and emergency drills regularly at home, school and work.”

“If you are caught in a random act of violence, find the nearest exit or safe place, then call 911 and give calm, clear, pertinent information.”
