    I remember Main St. through J.C. (and Binghamton) back in the '60s... it was vastly different than this. Though I wonder if many of the comments made would have been a bit more on the upbeat had you made this same drive-through on a bright sunny summer day?
    Great video. As Bob Hope used to sing, "Thanks... for the memories."

    Not very representative of the town. This is the old industrial part that is being renovated by Binghamton University and various developers of new living spaces.The streets are pretty bad, but that's what Upstate winters do. They'll be patched soon.

    The Empire State really does a fabulously f-cked up job at screwing anything outside of NYC, Westchester County, and Long Island. Upstate NY (most of what I've seen) is pretty sad, depressing, rundown, and just overall miserable. But regardless, you'll still find some GREAT people up there holding their own.

      They probably have. But when no one cares. They can't do much about it. I grew up in Binghamton in the 80s. So much better. Then than now
      Even our mall sucks. Due to the fact that is a poor town.

      When you care things get done.
      When u don't things don't get done two of my friends owned music stores in Binghamton and one in ENDICOTT years back. They lasted one year. On the dot. Either taxes got em or
      The poor people on the block didn't have much to spend
      That's what this area is all about. The clientele is horrible around here. Due to the fact that no one can own a business unless u invest money into it and have the right people come to your door.
      Im.ready to high tale out of here in the next ten years if it dont get better . Hear my cry Mr. Congress men. This city it's either DO OR NOT DO

      The other side of JC wasn’t shown because it (the North side) is a lot nicer. I believe that this video was intended to show the worst possible areas of JC. It does give the impression that JC is a run-down town and anyone who is not from this area would believe it.

    Chose to show the same few blocks of the worst part of JC .. definitely not a good indicator of what the rest of the village looks like ... Yah that area has seen better days .. like a lot of small industrial towns years after industry has left ... But there are more "cleaner" neighborhoods than those shown in the video...

    Sometimes the local minor politicans and such, will let a former nice neighborhood, with good buildings with good bones, become dilapidated so the property values go way down. Then they buy it up for cheap, and get government grants ( that don't cost them anything compared to what they'll get). Put in some affordable housing, and gentrify the rest to it's former glory and make a ton of money.

Some of the neighbors were really losses who have low income. That don't care and get into arguments every night. So that's the kind of people we're dealing with in this area.

I went through grade school there, My Uncle waa employed at the IBM and my Aunt waa a realtor..my mother started her nursing career there at the nursing college across from Brozettes Pizza restaurant ...now I don't even recognize this place.

      I remember Main St. through both Binghamton and J.C. (I went to Binghamton Central). I remember the Strand and Riviera theaters on Chenango St. and how ornate the Riviera was.
      I lived near the Arch that separates Bing from J.C. and would walk the entire distance to BCHS and back, every day. And do the same walk to the two theaters on Chenango St. on weekends.
      I remember a movie at the Jarvis Theater near Jarvis & Main being only 35 cents.
      I remember the theaters having a double feature and being able to stay all day if I wanted to. You didn't have to leave when the movie was over, you could stay all day and watch it over and over if you wanted to. And why not, just so you got home in time for dinner, right?
