Rod Serling went to high school here — years later one of our many carousels appeared in this famous episode:

I met my friend at the Walking Distance Pavillion today — until this very moment — despite the Twilight Zone themed panels above the rabid horses — I didn’t understand why the pavilion was called Walking Distance — of course — halfway between our houses: George_F._Johnson_Recreation_Park_Carousel

Jon who passed away earlier this year — would take breaks from his deep-history research and watch noir movies and television — When I first arrived here he had watched two different cop shows where when they caught the miscreant is was revealed via radio —they had been caught in Binghamton
When one first moves here — there is the constant sense the letter P is missing
Certainly — when I started to regularly walk the cemeteries — it was obvious with their shallow waves of intermingling histories — Binghamton was a place of crossroads
with strange mixed media hybrids of land and sky — the living and the dead
very much like anyplace we call home

Have a beautiful day, y’all!

TZ-fan household member checking in. And as an inactive rail fan of sorts, Binghamton is featured in several of the books and magazines I’ve accumulated over the years.
