This is a good link to show you not only how calorie laden some fast-food lunches are but it then gives an alternative on those same fast-food lunch menus that aren't as bad...guess it's all relative.

CLINTON STREET REVIVAL-BINGHAMTON NY JULY 2008

Catch a glimpse of the home-grown movement to inspire community pride in our local downtown Binghamton neighborhoods.

One of the agents from our Century21-Sbarra/Wells office, Mike Rizzo, is the champion of the Binghamton revitalization frenzy. With his NYC enthusiasm and boundless energy, he has infused a renewed sense of pride in the waning neighborhoood, by his catchy ad, "We Believe in Binghamton."

His conserted work with the 1st Ward Assembly has brought increase traffic to the neighborhood known as "ANTIQUE ROW"where many Mom & Pop store, diners and shops are starting to thrive.

Binghamton wins America East, punches first dance ticket!!

BU wins NCAA berth: 61-51 final

They're going dancing. The Binghamton University men's basketball team defeated the University of Maryland Baltimore County 61-51 Saturday to win the America East championship and earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

Name the dollar amount you're willing to pay. But most people in Binghamton University's event center parking lot before Saturday's game were not willing to part with their ticket.

"This is one of the biggest sporting event in Broome County ever," said Nathan Turrell, 39, of Binghamton.
Binghamton University students camped out overnight to try to secure the best general admission ticket for the student section. Just to get a general admission ticket students earlier this week had to sleep over night, or, at the very least, wait for hours in line.
Steven Prinz, 18, of Long Island, said he arrived at the Event Center at 7 a.m. Wednesday to buy his general admission student ticket before they went on sale at noon Wednesday.
"I don't think I would sell it. It's too much of a thing," said Prinz, an engineering major who painted his body for the game.
Binghamton University student Steve Pahuskin, 22, of Brooklyn, said he will probably fail out of school because of his effort to get his tickets for the game. The accounting and pre-law major skipped two tests on Wednesday.
"I probably won't be here next year," said Pahuskin, "but it was totally worth it."

Civil War Era and Post CW State Buttons

If you've never understood why a person might collect antique buttons,well, there is a lot of history surrounding this tiny treasures. Take for instance, the importance of holding together uniforms during a war and the jobs created by skilled craftsman to design state seals,etc.

I'm not a military button collector. However, a CW collector from ebay emailed me the following:"Number three is a civil war period Georgia, and number ten is a post civil war state of Ohio.

The following that you have pictured are civil war period: Number 1, 3, 4, 9, 12 and maybe 2".

I'd love see other examples if you care to share. Sorry for the squished look of the buttons but I tried to resize them for this blog and that's about the best I can create.
