Welcome to the Finger Lakes! Our theme song:


In a town this size, there's no place to hide
Everywhere you go, you meet someone you know...
In a smokey bar, in the backseat of your car
In your own little house, someone's sure to find you out
What you do and what you think
What you eat and what you drink...

"60 Minutes" unemployment shocker


In a surprising return to objectivity, last night "60 Minutes" ran a terrifying report on the nation's long term unemployment nightmare.  With the mid-term election less than two weeks away, CBS's Scott Pelley delivered a staggering blow to the administration's rapidly declining propects. 

While many Finger Lakes dwellers are living the crisis, "60 Minutes" has just exposed the results of the elections of 2006 and 2008 to a national audience.  Take a few minutes to watch the piece, and be sure to note the scene where Pelley asks a room full of middle aged, long term unemployed to raise their hands if they have a college degree.  Click to view:
