binghamton

An absolute shithole surrounded by trailer parks (lots of them) and white-trash. Poverty. Ignorance. Beer-bellies and camoflauge. Women are overweight and just plain nasty. People from NJ are assholes? I've never encountered such a rude bunch in my life, and I've lived in 4 states, NJ included. People are just miserable. Advance Auto Parts is a zoo, full of broke-ass, rusting off the frame, 20 year old Chevy pickup trucks with their hoods up fixing their pieces in the parking lot so they can get on with their pathetic lives. Area is full of side-of-the-road redneck car dealerships run by a bunch of crooks. I've never seen so many people without teeth, or the ones they have left are rotting. Everyone smokes. Extreme uneducation. This includes the surrounding areas as well. Broome County is one of the poorest counties in the nation, #30 to be exact. A lot of petty crimes and drunks. NOT an area you move to to get ahead in life!!! Just look in the local classifieds...if you do find a job it's most likely blue-collar, no education required at an unliveable pay-scale. The pay here is ridiculously low. Real estate is worth NOTHING. If you want to cling to the lower rungs of society, move to the Southern Tier!!!
