We city-o's who left the Big Apple to make Ithaca home will sometimes refer to town as the sixth borough.
The Southside neighborhood, where I live, is the main stem.
The feeling's there today at the annual Juneteenth event, celebrating African-American history and culture, at the Southside Community Center on South Plain Street.
It's a beautiful day, so come visit. Try the Ethiopian food, or Roy's Cuban fare, or the excellent fresh-juice drinks. There's music, and a great, friendly crowd to welcome you.
