Found Suits near Ithaca Commons

I was walking back from class and a street musician near the Ithaca Commons around 2:15 PM on Friday when I spotted a suit jacket and matching trousers in a garment bag left on a bench near the State Theatre on State Street. It looked new and untouched, so I picked it up and brought it here to help reunite it with its owner. The label inside reads 'Harris Formalwear'—someone clearly needs this for an upcoming event or interview. It’s a relief to see a well-kept suit find a second chance.

Lost paintings in Ithaca, near Ho Plaza

Hi, I’m Daniel Brooks. I’m feeling anxious after realizing my two paintings never made it out of my studio last night. It was around 7:42 p.m. on Tuesday when I left them leaning against the wall outside the Johnson Museum’s entrance, just off Ho Plaza, while I rushed to catch the bus. The canvases are fairly large: one shows a stormy lake, the other a sunlit field—both are my own work and signed in the corner. I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe. Please reach out through the site if these look familiar; I’d be grateful to arrange a pickup on or near Cornell’s campus.

FOUND: Felines

I spotted two cats on Meadow Street just outside the Ithaca Commons this afternoon around 3:10 PM, looking a bit muddy and wary after a light rain. They stuck together, a grey tabby with a pink collar and a calico with a small white patch on her chest—clearly someone’s lost pets. I brought them into my apartment for warmth, fed them some food, and have been keeping an eye on them while I post here. If these are yours, please connect through the site so we can arrange a safe handoff.

Lost sandals near Ithaca Commons

Last night around 7:30 p.m., I was walking back toward the Ithaca Commons after a long shift at the student center. I kicked off my sandals on the brick steps outside the Ithaca Bakery on Green Street, right by the little fountain near the bus stop. A gust of wind must have swept them away, because when I looked up, they were gone. They’re my go-to pair—soft, with worn leather and a slim blue strap—perfect for everyday comfort. I’m hoping someone picked them up and set them aside, because I’d hate to start my weekend without them.
