Segovia, Barcelona, Philly & Bingo, wow - quite the metropolitain lineup!

you forgot to mention that Binghamton, NY was once the NY state headquarters of the KKK - good goin' Bingo

Economic hiccups are the trademark of the surrounding area - EJ's, IBM, etc...
you also forgot that over the last 20 years the drug scene in that town has become ridiculous - set 3 hours from the city with a major highway that runs from NYC through Bingo to Buffalo, Canada & Florida - Run those drugs boys, run, run! The perfect stop-over on your way out of the country - come visit Bingo!
And how bout that Veteran's Memorial satdium? Only 30+ years old - run down and cant hold a team for more than 5 or 6 years. While I lived there I saw the Binghamton Whalers, Binghamton Rangers and BC Icemen.
AA Baseball? Yeah - nobody even goes to that - the interest ran out after only 3 years and they started in 91?
Binghamton is also known as the "Pub City" because they have about 300 bars.
Oh yeah, there is a wannabe Division 1A college there also.
So basicly, it goes like this - if you are a drug dealer, alcoholic or college student... welcome home to Bingo!!!

I grew up there and got out after high school - don't get sucked into the black hole - get out while there is still time!!!

Ok, I did remember 1 good thing about bingo now - the food!

Best Italian food around - Little Venice cant be beat!!!
Spedies are as good as advertised - better during the Spedie Fest! does that thing even still happen?
There is also the best pizza that I have ever eaten - I cant remember the name but it is located next to Wilson Hospital - a little place - only a 20' x 20' building but it is king!

[jingle] 797-9960 Call Brozetteis for pizza to go. [/jingle] Repeat forever... can't shake the jingle but the pie is awesome.

Oh - you guys forgot to mention the Chris Thater Memorial Bike races. Went last summer for the first time. It was thrilling. I almost felt proud to be from here ... almost.

Griff · 04-14-2003, 02:23 PM

I went to the Chris Thater last year, it was good fun. I'll have to defend the BMets, they drew better last than they had been. Its a great park to watch bazball in. The Senators are a big step up from the Icemen and they actually win a lot. Warch mentioned something about watchin hockey in barns as a good thing. The arena is a hole but its the right size for the town and building something new and glitzy would be wasted dollars. Hockey fans don't need shiney high tech arenas.

Griff · 04-14-2003, 02:49 PM

Oh, btw there's a new gallery in that low white building on Baldwin just down from Brozettis. "Specific Bodies, Anonymous Remains" is the name of the show. Sculpture and painting...

You just need to be able to see.

I am from the Binghamton, NY area (Conklin, NY) and I just so happen to work at the Spiedie and Rib Pit on the parkway next to BU.

To anyone who doesn't know what spiedies are, I am very sorry.

BigV · 04-22-2005, 10:33 AM

Ok, you're sorry. Fine. All is forgiven. But is it Spiedie like "Peter Parker's alter ego's 'Spiedie-senses' were tingling" or Spiedie like 'Spiedie Gonzales--fastest mouse in the west!". Or something else?
