I grew up in Binghamton, Hillcrest to be specific. My family still lives there.

It has a reputation of being Boring, and I have to say, for a “city” it really isn’t that spectacular.

When I go, it’s either because I’m passing through (I-81, I-88, and I-86/NY-17 all go through here) or because I’m visiting family.

The rivers and valleys are pretty, and the Chenango Valley State Park is nice to visit.
