<p>Just wondering. Thanks!</p>
<p>Ithaca is northwest of Binghamton.</p>
<p>Google earth...lol it's a little out of focuse tho on GE...but u'll get an idea!</p>
<p>HAHAHAH im just wondering why your map is an "percentage of children screen for elevated blood lead before 24 mohtns"map...hahaha so random</p>
<p>^LOL</p>
<p>Check out maps.google.com.</p>
<p>Ithaca is in Tompkins County.</p>
<p>It's positioned below nowhere and above nowhere; so in short, in the middle of nowhere.</p>
<p>at the bottom point of the lake in tompkins county.</p>
<p>Driving to Ithaca from the nearest city (say, Syracuse), you really do see that it's the middle of nowhere...</p>
<p>I have just driven to Cornell and back in a single long day ... from Fairfield County CT ... it's an hour across 84 to 17 ... two hours up 17 through the mountains ... 20 minutes up 81 in a blinding blizzard the day before Easter, in April, and then 40 minutes in to Ithaca (still snowing) on a two lane road, 79, through some once-picturesque villages now speed traps. </p>
<p>(Weather report ... snowed through the lacrosse game enough to make the field turn white at one point, snowed on the way home. Little to no actual accumulation -- just enough to fill the air like a blizzard.)</p>
<p>It's a looong way. Only three more trips there this year tho ...
GO BIG RED LACROSSE!</p>
<p>The snow at this time of year is highly unusual for the northeast. I was just reading about a bad car accident in Virginia yesterday that was caused by snow.</p>
<p>cnp55, if you made it from Fairfield County to Ithaca in 4 hours, you had better be worried about speed traps! Not to mention the possibility of flying off the road when you hit the curves near Deposit. How fast were you going?</p>
<p>The more elegant version of "middle of nowhere" is "centrally isolated." Look on a map. Ithaca is right in the middle of western New York, surrounded by absolutely nothing of interest.</p>
<p>In my interview, I asked the same question: "Where is Ithaca". When I asked what city my interviewer would associate Ithaca with in my local area, she said it would be like a country-side city in southern Georgia (the deep south). But the campus itself is a whole new world, as she said its "...lively as Midtown ATL".</p>
<p>Oh, my dear friends... you have no idea where the middle of nowhere is. Ithaca is (in comparison to my hometown) a booming city that is over ten times as large in terms of population (and that's before we add college students).</p>
<p>The middle of nowhere is actually northeast of Syracuse. It is there that you find that no culture (not even a Wal-Mart for 30 minutes - yeah, it's not everywhere yet) is around.</p>
<p>In visiting Ithaca, I find it significantly less snowy and more city-like. But, as many of you have the city thing going one, my view doesn't help.</p>
<p>why does it appear so blurred on Google Earth? for practically any other location i check, it seems to in focus.</p>
<p>I suppose it depends what exact part of Fairfield County you are referring to ... we're starting around Danbury (closest point in the county to Ithaca) As opposed to maybe Milford or Trumbull.</p>
<p>Definitely watch for the speed zones on 17 ... and also watch for the village centers on 79. We've done it in 3 hrs 50 minutes ... my neighbors, whose daughter went to Ithaca College, claim 3-1/2 hrs.</p>
<p>Ya my town doesn't even have a highschool. Ithaca is a city to me!</p>

<p>I heard it's in NY. Let me go map it out......yep, I used Google Maps and it's in NY for sure. I hope that helps. BTW, NY is in the North East..just a sec, let me zoom out. Yeah, it's up there near those small states (or are they large cities..not sure..let me zoom in again).</p>
