Over the summer, Trumansburg took a momentous step toward joining the modern world as it welcomed a 24-hour business (the first and only). Now residents of our beloved burg can pick up some forgotten necessaries or fill their empty tanks -- after dark... and before dawn! The idea breathes freedom to a lady who has gone most of her life with the notion that if it's past 9:30 when you realize you've run clean out of milk or eggs, you might as well forget it.
Now, all you city folk are probably thinking, No big deal, we've had convenience stores, 24-hr groceries, and Wal Mart since 1910. I agree, it's fairly ridiculous to me that such an idea wasn't proposed fifty years ago. I'm sure that even my great-grandparents made their share of late night runs to Ithaca for something as silly as a loaf of bread. But I'm not taking you on a tour of the Burg each week so that we can all laugh at my parochial village. I'm here to tell you that this 24-hour business is more than the average. Allow me to list for you a few wonderful peculiarities of T-burg's latest:
- new and modern, but still fits a small village (i.e. it's almost charming)
- a convenience store, but not the 7-11
- clean and simple, but spacious dining inside
- an ice cream window
- non-hormoned dairy
- milk in glass bottles
- cheese from local cows
- a bazillion flavors of ice cream
