I didn't grow up in Ithaca, attend school there, or marry a professor /
farmer's daughter. Did spend some time in Aurora with an alumn of Wells
College. As I recall there was a diner / restaurant on the road from Aurora
to Ithaca that served a mean breakfast -- it sat on a triangular piece of
land between the main road and a small farm road. Looking to plan a trip out
of NYC and would like to move from good food establishment to good food
establishment. Thought I might give this diner a second try. Anyone of you
many natives, passers-through, and hangers-on have any idea where this place
is?

Well, being also an Ithaca native (only follows, since I'm ][<en's little
sister), I can say that I washed dishes at a little house in a small town
just outside of Ithaca, called Besemer.  Not up to the standards of the
rest of you, but I had my share of cleaning up after my father (who also
happened to do something electrical at the synchrotron - I like Creighton's
dad's idea.  I have a jug of Round Up to finish using with my sprayer, so
let me know when you're ready).

Although I went to Jr. High at the new Dewitt Jr. High School, I used to
hang out at the old one after it became the Dewitt Mall - thought the
toilets that flushed automatically once you stood up were cool - not like
the new fangled electric eye ones in many shopping malls, theaters and
airports across the country these days.  It was a little disconcerting the
first time the seat moved when I sat down, though).  Been to the Moosewood
a lot of times and have many of their cookbooks.  Never found a recipe for
sheet.  Unfortunately, the Samadhara was gone when I was there in December.
I missed the smells!

My late dad once
had a plan to follow the course of the ring of the synchrotron, which was
built under an athletic field, with round up ( a herbicide). He figured a
large, slightly toasted looking shadow, would have lots of phones ringing.

I washed dishes at IC 30 years ago.

I too washed dishes, at Cornell's Home Ec. Caf., 42 years ago.

In my DeWitt Junior High School days (cc '66-'70) the Moosewood was a...

P.S.  I did my dishwashing at Camp Barton, the Boy Scout camp north of
Taughannock Falls State Park on Cayuga Lake, though a woman on my paper
route, Galetti Chacona (Greek, I think, or maybe Italian), with connections
in the restaurant business offered to get me a dishwashing job if I wanted
it...
