Driving by Binghamton,New York

[@larrydavis3161]

thanks for the drive down my street and view of our family home on the West side!

I lived in the Triple Cities and worked in Binghamton. Sadly it’s just another old, run down and depressing northeastern city. It’s best seen in your rear view mirror as you move on to better places. I did.

[@waynemasters]

Man oh man… I lived here from 91 to 93 and again 2000 to 2002… it’s so sad to see the decline. Nice folks live here. Hard to imagine that The Giant, Crowley, IBM, Oakdale Mall, Niko’s, Number 5 among others are all gone… Glad to hear Cortese and Nirchi’s are still around.

[@joshdolgin9346]

I like the music. What’s the name of the song and artist if you know?

[@philipmorehouse1069]

Most of this I still remember. I left the area in 1998 and seldom got back to see it since the early 2000s. Very little has changed. It is a far cry from the 1950 when the area was a booming city and traffic was bumper to bumper.

[@이진호-f4d]

Same here. I left Binghamton, Johnson City, Vestal etc. areas in 1997 and never got back to see how things have changed. I still remember the most of the area and lots of snow.

I would really like to know what the great musical score is for the first few minutes. very chill...

[@thomasklugh4345]

A really cool ride down memory lane... passed a house I lived in, in the late '60s. Yes, you young'uns, that's the 1960s.

I'm from New York City but upstate New York is beautiful quit to big mountains and lakes and streams such a contrast from the city

[@Dedhead6992]

Was hoping you were gona drive past the belmar. I probably would have been out front smoking a cigarette. Lived above that old bar for yrs. Moved to fla last yr leaving bing was the best decision i ever madr

[@margaretkearsey734]

I am originally from Binghamton. I noticed that tore down the Sheraton Hotel. What are they putting up in its place?

[@AnimatingStudios2002]

An apartment, …and they just finished it

[@margaretkearsey734]

@@AnimatingStudios2002 Thanks for replying. When I was small there was an elegant estate of yellow brick in its place with a statue of a reindeer that I was told was being moved to Roberson, I wonder if it is still there.

[@shanejones8884]

The Sheraton Hotel on Water Street?

[@thomasklugh4345]

The Sheraton was my first job in 1966... as a dish washer in the kitchen.

[@travelinman617]

O yes another thing to mention that is so nice alot of beautiful churches all over thats nice to see

[@superhitpix5955]

goin through a red light like a Binghamton boss. I hate humans.

[@shanejones8884]

I understand driving around downtown, but you're missing two-thirds of the city.

[@shanejones8884]

Leroy Street really?

[@CharruaNYC]

Why?

[@shanejones8884]

Used to live on Leroy Street a long time ago.

[@thomasallen6980]

Karen felt the need to "Really". Just ignore them when they are free in the wild.

[@waynemasters]

@@shanejones8884I miss Wagner’s on Seminary… Man they had the best bakery❤

[@shanejones8884]

@@waynemasters the best cookies you could buy. I’d go in there with my $5 and walk out with 6 half moon cookies. This was 28 years ago though

[@ibrake4oxtail]

Ah, it wouldn't be a real drive through downtown Binghamton without a jay-walker on Court Street

[@shanejones8884]

That's the truth. Why in the world would anyone get off at the Rt. 17 Front Street Exit though. It's the shittiest part of town. The "beautiful" first ward district.

[@johnchainsman]

Ahh that weird GoPro ripple effect. Ruined the movie "Rush" for me.

[@amyrinker139]

So depressing!

[@waynemasters]

@Emmanuele Spataro IBM's gone. EJ's gone. Lockheed's gone. Singer Link's gone. NYSEG is gone. The largest employer is SUNY. The Twin Tiers population has decreased significantly since 1990, and its gotten worse. Depressing because its a great region of NY & PA to raise a family, but there are few opportunities to make a decent living. Having lived there, it absolutely breaks my heart to see it so desolate. Its becoming a Franklin/Oil City, PA.

[@semperfine4442]

FUCKING DISMAL! I LEFT FOR TEXAS 41 YEARS AGO AND NEVER LOOKED BACK! GET OUT BEFORE YOU CANT! SNOW AND UNEMPLOYMENT ARE Variables!!
