Ok, another one. Binghamton

There is a potential job afoot at Binghamton, NY.  Is anyone familiar with the area? Can you tell us about renting there? (Parts of town to avoid, etc.?)  Anything else about the area?

I have some friends from that area, but they haven't lived there for quite a while. I'd say its probably like most rust belt cities, not a lot to do for entertainment but it's not awful either, and will be affordable. Just be aware, it can get a lot of snow!

Yeah, well, my entertainment now is going out for tea once a week and going out for a meal once a week. What I need is a garden. And a cat. And a good library, and internet. After that, it's all gravy. I know it snows. I spent the first decade of my life in the NY metro area and remember the snow quite well.    I rather like snow. The Daughter may not like it much, once she experiences the kind that stays on the ground for a long time, though. I don't have to go out in it if I don't want to. She will.

So I do need to know about parts of town and first-hand experience from someone who is familiar with Binghamton, NY, if there's anyone out there?
