Five Things That Would Make Binghamton More Amazing

We used to have a few. How many people in our area travel to other amusement parks for a day of fun? I bet it's a lot, and that money spent could stay here. Doesn't have to be a huge park, but one that would be affordable and fun for all ages.

If an amusement park idea is too big, how about a smaller scale - a water park? What a great place to cool off and enjoy during the warm weather season? Yes, it does get warm here for a few months.

Yes, this is an obvious wish. We keep hearing that people are leaving the area because of many reasons, and one of those reasons is that there are no good jobs. What kinds of jobs/businesses do we need here that could turn things around? Suggestions?

We've all noticed that the Downtown Binghamton area is growing. New business, restaurants, bars and local breweries. So where do you park?  We just lost one parking ramp, and I understand the collier street ramp will eventually be re-built is some form, but in the meantime, parking can be a challenge.

Many cities have shutdown a downtown street permanently for pedestrian traffic only. These areas are full of great local shops, pubs, restaurants and maybe even add a farmers market. Not sure where that would work downtown, but it's an idea!
