why does it appear so blurred on Google Earth? for practically any other location i check, it seems to in focus.

<p>Most smaller towns and cities in more rural areas are blurred like that. Not all are though (for instance Midland, TX is clear).</p>

<p>Thanks for ALL the responses.</p>
<p>This is kind of random but when I fly from Atlanta to Syracuse, we pass over Ithaca. It actually looks pretty cool and Cornell stands out since it's on the hill. I can see the Engineering Quad, Stadium, Clock Tower, and High Rises... anyway...</p>
<p>i hear jetblue doesn't go to the nearby airport..which is a total bummer. anyone here travel by plane from nyc? and if so, care to include the 411?</p>
<p>I think the direct flights are from PHL and perhaps LGA into Ithaca. It's not easy to schedule flights. Other options are to fly to Syracuse or Binghamton.</p>
<p>that would be pointless. you'd still have to pay lot$$ to get a cab to drive you into ithaca for over an hour.</p>
<p>There are some shuttles from Syracuse to Ithaca. I think there's a lot of info on cornell.edu -- check out visiting cornell. Every single time I think I should just fly in ... it's way too complicated, expensive, and time-consuming for what I have in mind, and I either drive up from Connecticut or just give up the idea.</p>
<p>A favorite bumper sticker of ours is: "Ithaca is 10 square miles surrounded by reality." :)</p>
<p>hahaha....i like that ^^ :}</p>
