@Dyne's Lair Then I guess to my estimation, and the way you describe what you'd seen years ago, it's safe to say the mansion is gutted and later torn down😟. How sad😢. Tragically, this opulent treasure🏚 of old has vanished, leaving behind nothing but endearing memories of bygone days in the late 19th century.

I know that place. That is on water street and many junkies used to go into that house to shoot up.

Let's make 1 thing brutally clear: IF YOUR NOT A COLLEGE STUDENT YOU WON'T FIND AN APARTMENT. This is totally fucking sad that property owners only rent to college students. If you are the working tax payer moving this town forward, your not going to find a Decent apartment in a decent to upscale neighborhood in binghamton, so don't hold your breath. I take home close to $2000 a month by myself and I live in the Hood. Not because I want to but because Landlords only rent to students, exclusively. This is a blight on Binghamton.

Yes this is what drove me out of this place years ago. Lack of job opportunities and no place to really rent. Such a shame because this area used to be such a nice place to raise a family and was actually quite beautiful when it was kept up on.

I live a half hour from Binghamton. It has definitely become pretty ghetto. Sad for a city and region that used to be the "Silicon Valley" of it's time. IBM, Endicott-Johnson Shoes, Edwin Link flight simulators, countless companies that did work on the Saturn V moon rockets (some of which was done in a hanger at the Binghamton Airport) ... now the largest employer in Broome County is the county government

I believe a few years ago, a young man was shot to death in front of the burned down house. Apparently he was shot because local drug dealers thought he was trying to sell on their block. They were wrong and its so sad to see the family lost their house too.

The sad thing about southern tier New York towns like Elmira, and Binghamton is when you are in them it is easy to see they USED to have it going on. I think the event that marked the downfall was the big flood in the early 70's when lots of the manufacturers started abandoning the area.

The underpass you are posting about is on Glenwood Ave. Just two years ago the city put a new pumping station in, fixed the curbing and repaved the street. It is excellent shape. Repairing the bridge itself, in any way, would open the city to millions in liability and would never be allowed by the railroad. County taxes which you mentioned would never be used on any city street or bridge. The city has plenty of infrastructure needs but repairing private property like railroad structures is not among them.
