Ithaca Oasis - Grand Opening This Saturday, April 18th!

Okay, it's not your typical Real Estate topic, but it's REAL!  And it pertains to signs of our local market conditions - certain businesses are GROWING in spite of the national slump we keep reading about.  One of these, is the old Commonground, under new management (by Pam K), and re-emerging as "ITHACA OASIS" on Rt. 96B. 

You must check this out - if not for the wine or tequila tastings (two Tuesdays a month), then for the live jazz sets on Friday at happy hour, or for Noche Latina, a crowd-pleasing format of dance instruction followed by a DJ'ed night of great latin dance tunes.  People are totally cutting it up out there - you wouldn't know it was happening from the unassuming look of the place.  Weekends tend toward bringing the party outdoors, especially as we move into better weather.  Pam is doing a wonderful job with the event calendar - this week's lineup includes the Zydeco Trail Riders and Diana Leigh's Jazz Quartet on Saturday, and on Sunday, a "reunion" gig featuring Marie Burns, Harry and Eric Aceto, Chris Broadwell and Doug Richards.  South Hill residents take note!  The Hill is ON FIRE!!!

WHAT STRIPE ARE YOU??

So there you have it - an all stripes welcome, kick up your heels, put on your party dress venue where you can SPEND MONEY and help your new local businesses stay around and THRIVE into the coming decade!

That is it for this week's edition of "THE SHORT REPORT" by Santos!

See you on the dance floor ;-)
