onion/rip road trip roll call

[Rosey]

Leaving in a few minutes.  See you all tonight!

Will be wearing #2 red with my red Zephyr cap, in case any of you want to take a few shots at me in the parking lot.

Cheers,
Kyle

does anyone have driving directions they recommend from ithaca to onion?  also, good dinner ideas?

I would go 79 east to Whitney point.
Take a left onto 206 at the Hess station and follow this to Bainbridge.  
At Bainbridge get on I-88 and start, and keep heading East.
When 88 ends and joins i90, get onto rt 7 or rt 337.  (don't get onto 90)

You want to be on 337 heading north or east this will put you on i-890 for like a mile before you get off, at which point you will be in the lovely town of Schenectady.  (The final few turns to Union you will need to figure out, though i think there are signs)

Either way now that you are in Schenectady you will want to make sure the doors are locked, and don't make eye contact with the locals.  Actually it isn't that bad but the town has seen better days.  For reasons unknown most of the locals do seem to walk with a limp.

As for places to eat, Brandywine Diner was always a good place to go but you are on your own for directions though it isn't too far from Union.  Another option is Gepettos.  This is on the North side of campus across from one of the school gates.  I may end up going there just since it is easily found.  

hope this was marginally helpful.

LGR!
