There is a proposal for a new bar on the city's west end that would reuse Rulloff's furnishings.

Quote from: Ithaca VoiceJohn said he purchased the bar fixtures from longtime Collegetown staple Rulloff's, and is "going to try and reconstruct that bar in the space."

Taber Street is not a Collegetown location, but might attract alumni.

Quote from: upprdeckPlans are to tear down joes and make it into more Appts.  Just needs approval if its not a done deal already.

Does anything in that space last?  It seems like The Mall of Doom.

Yeah, there are plenty of businesses that have been in there forever -- CTB, the liquor store, Gene's Barbershop, and then even a newer place like Ithaca Coffee has been there for a long time now.

I'm glad someone saved that bar. I worked behind it for 6 years, and can't wait to sit in front of it again someday.

Quoteyou could take a community like Collegetown and bring it to the next generation by executing a bar-restaurant to a high level

I weep for the future.

Not the Finger lakes Beverage Center too!!  That's a loss I'll feel. That was a great shop.

Lots of things at the bev center that were hard to find other places.

But in talking to them about some things the reg dist. was making life hard.

Was that the "buy it by the pallet" place down on 13?  That place was a menace to my health.  Where am I going to buy rehoboams of mead now?
