Closed block of East State Street will detour Route 79 May 7th-10th

East State Street at the eastern edge of the City of Ithaca, also known as New York State Route 79, will be closed for most of next week as the City of Ithaca's Water & Sewer Division installs water and sewer services for apartment buildings in the new Collegetown Terrace complex. Just one block, from Mitchell Street to Valentine Place, will be closed, but that will necessitate a detour for eastbound and westbound traffic on Route 79.

This self-serve frozen yogurt shop focuses on just one thing, that creamy dessert concoction, but they really go all out. Choose from ten different yogurt flavors, then add any of the dozens and dozens of toppings -- or all of them.

Cornell Baseball win at Princeton gives Big Red division title, home turf for Ivy championship series

It's just the second time in program history Cornell Baseball has earned the Ivy League's Lou Gehrig Division championship outright, and the first time Cornell will host the Ivy League Championship Series. Sophomore Ben Swinford's solo home run in the 12th inning at Princeton gave the Big Red a 4-3 victory over the Tigers in the second game of a doubleheader on Sunday. Princeton had won the first game 6-0, making game 2 of the day a do-or-die contest.
