Virtually YoursImagine, if you can, this scenario. Ez dresses up in his best interview duds, goes down to the Chamber of Commerce, applies and lands a job promoting Ithaca, New York, the place you know and love so much.
It wouldn't be easy sailing by any means. There's the Ithaca Sucks tattoo on Ez's forehead that he ill-advisedly talked himself into after a night of boozin' at the Chanticleer. That's been sort of a liability ever since. Well, maybe Ez could do a phone interview.
So, after landing the job, imagine that Ez is assigned to do a website, you know, a virtual tour of Ithaca for folks who are moving here -- people still do that, sad to say, despite the fact that there are 23 million google hits for the words Ithaca and Sucks.
So, here goes. Welcome to Paradise on Earth, a green community nestled in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York.
Ithaca has something for everyone no matter what the season.
Its world-renown colleges and universities attract students from all over the world who come here for the combination of serious scholarship and the endless variety of recreational activities.
Ithaca is at the forefront of the environmental movement. The City of Ithaca's recycling and conservation programs have earned Ithaca the right to proudly call itself a 'green community.'
But, there's a lot more to do in Ithaca than study and recycle. Ithaca has a variety of world class restaurants, a serious theater scene and lively nightlife.
And, Ithacans have always been politically engaged ever since the tumultuous 60's.
. Whether you like to shop, study or agitate, Ithaca is the place for you. Who knows, you might never want to leave.
How did Ez do?
