Small city where i grew up, while boring it's much better than Elmira and the surrounding cities. There are things to do, you just have to lokk around a little bit.

Possibly the most pathetic town I've ever been to. People often say upstate New York is more like the Midwest than New York City; that statement is downright insulting to the Midwest. Binghamton is an absolute shithole. It's not even nearly as nice and all-American as the Midwest, and no where near as cool and exciting as New York City. Locals are a bunch of fat Southern-wannabe Walmart-shopping rednecks with Confederate flags on their pickups. Binghamton Chamber of Commerce actually BRAGS that Binghamton was once the New York State Ku Klux Klan headquarters. My God. There's fucking one famous person to ever come out of Binghamton, Rod Serling, and they act like Serling is Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior. BIG FUCKING DEAL! You know how many famous people came from New York City area! Like 75% of all celebrities!!! Binghamton is extremely one-dimension geographically. The whole city is Main St, and little side streets off Main St. In neighboring Vestal, everything is on the Vestal Parkway. That's it. By the way the food in Binghamton sucks. Upstate people really have no clue when it comes to food (except for wings though, that is ONE contribution Upstate NY made to society). It's also colder than southern Alaska in the winter. Whoopey.
If Spiedies are so fucking great why has no one ever heard of them? If they were actually good, why no national recognition?

a terrible place. 'nuff said. right between syracuse and NYC but doesn't make more then a gas station. Extreme changes in temp. (-12 one day and 50 the next). Home of the infamous 'kick a jew day'. more then half of the kids do some sort of drugs. The high school can somehow get enough money to but 30 brand new mac computers yet there's atleast 10 places throughout the school that have leaking roofs with garbage cans under it. cloudy all year round. one of the worst possible places to live. Nobody wants to come here. Don't even drive through it. it's like a frozen hell. all you can hope for here is that you might be one of the lucky one's that escape.
(somewhere in Pennsylvanis)
news reporter: yet another armed robbery happened in Binghamton this morning
guy 1: dude, didn't you grow up in Binghamton?
guy 2: don't remind me -.-

Quite possibly the greatest city in the continental USA. In Binghamton it never rains and the sun always shines down upon you. You would be hard pressed to find a day throughout the year where the temperature falls below a serene 70 degrees. Situated in the extravagant Southern Tier of New York Binghamton's location is one of its greatest features. With only an hour drive to Elmira, New York or Scranton, Pennsylvania you simply cannot go wrong. The towns folk in Binghamton show hospitality that even the south cannot compare to, whether it is to cheer you on as you run by their houses or to come into your home and personally take your recyclables, they simply do it all. The only downside to Binghamton is that it puts other cities to shame.
In Binghamton anything is possible if you believe.

Binghamton's existence does, indeed NOT depend on the vaste wasteland of human minds on the Vestal Parkway and never has! The city would be very glad to send the rude, obnoxious, spolied-brat children of "Looonnngg Eyeland" and "Noo Yawk" back to the rat-hole metro area where they came from!
Don't deceive yourselves! Binghamton is a fine place to live, except when the Suny-Loonies arrive in August!

People in Hancock, Upstate (yes I'm not even giving them the dignity of having 'New York' after their town, I'm from the city) think that Binghamton is a big city.

A city in upstate New York thats known for being one of the most depressed cities in America. There are three types of inhabitants in Binghamton. The drug dealers, the snobby long-island kids, and the baby-boomer adults that look like theyre being dragged down to hell as they walk. If you walk outside at night you're likely to see a combination of all three unique species. There is like one college in the area. Its LITTERALLY the only reason why the city isnt a ghost town. The college is composed mostly of rich city kids from new york and long island. Theyre probably here for punishment because Binghamton is an actual hellhole. Did i mention that the city is radioactive because IBM started here and burried all their computers in the ground. When the sun comes out in this asswipe of a city the citizens rejoice because we are all viamin d deficient. If were lucky the next time the sun will come out is during the second coming. Binghamtonians like to get their entertainment from one of our many parking garages colapsing. We also enjoy watching the only weatherman in the area, Howard Manges, get excited about cold fronts.
