May 15th, 2009 at 10:30AM: If you're a tourist, Ithaca, in the Finger Lakes region of New York, doesn't want you--at least not for Memorial Day. It's not a snob thing.

I'm not usually one to be moved by pomp and circumstance, although, during high school graduations, the song "Pomp and Circumstance" played by a high school band does tear me up. Even though this is how I am, the "Changing of the Guard" at the Tomb of the Unknowns, another name for the memorial ...
