Our umpteen thousandth trip to Corning yesterday, every time is amazing. The place rocks. Rockwell Museum of American Art (a Smithsonian affiliate), Corning Glass Museum, kick-ass restaurants, three amazing art galleries and a very cool assortment of artisan shops, antique/vintage shops, and assorted touristy places.
Plus, it's close enough to the Finger Lakes region to keep all you oenophiles happy.
Plus, a lot of picturesque architecture in the downtown area with a deep sense of history.
Plus the Glass Museum gift shop/bookstore. I could go bankrupt just buying the coffee table books they carry.
Plus (a big plus), the new contemporary glass art wing of the museum, which I've written about here before.
I haven't ingratiated myself enough (i.e. annoyed others) to find out what kind of writing community they have yet. Maybe someday.
A big plus is that the art community seems to be almost entirely made up of artists and those who appreciate art. I haven't seen a large hipster presence in town. Knock on wood.
