Wireless and the state st diner
Coffee, eggs, sausage, 1950’s decor, chatty waitresses, the state street diner is a true diner, not a chrome-y just opened knockoff… Close your eyes… –Smell & hear the sputtering grill in your imagination, and you are pretty much there. Never closed, This Diner has been here since the 1930’s, serving both college students kicked out of the bars at 2am & Sunday post-church breakfasts. It’s a wonderful place. A place where the town and gown (Town=blue-collar Ithaca residents, gown=students/faculty/college-types) can both meet on neutral ground and chow on cheeseburgers.
And they now have free wireless Internet connection!!!!! This to me this is a sign that the ultimate triumph of wireless is at hand, that a place like this realizes they will attract more customers if they have it.
I am now ensconced in a corner of the diner, on my 4th cup of weak coffee, one bite of sausage away from finishing breakfast, and happily working on the welcome to spring message & graphic on the Dimon Sports website.
Of course, this is Ithaca, so the waitress wears a livestrong wristband, and queries me on my Mac, she just got one and can’t get used to it… But at least she is humming along to the country music piping in on the radio.
