[edit] Plaza Store Directory

Well, its pretty cool that a representative of the City of Binghamton as discovered wikipedia, but don't you think its a bit much to list all the mundane chain stores found in nearby plazas. As an estranged area native, its actually quite embarassing. List unique qualities about the area, don't promote cookie cutter mediocrity.

Sadly, thanks to "Uncle" Barry Newman, most of the local flavor has been squashed in the name of rapid growth and the general strip-mallification of suburban America24.24.95.18 02:57, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vestal Center, Vestal Corner....

These little sidestreets off of 26 is Vestal Center: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=vestal,+ny&ll=42.033747,-76.017312&spn=0.003626,0.007522&t=k&hl=en Now where is Vestal Corner? If Vestal Center borders PA, then Vestal Corner could not be south of Vestal Center. Something is not right in the article. Correct me if I wrong but the Hamlet of Vestal Center is just that little development, but in a broader common usage "Vestal Center" is just another way of saying southern Vestal ("Go south on 26 and make a ..."). ccwaters 22:40, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

There's a lot of map confusion about this. As far as I know, there is no Vestal Corner. There's Vestal Center, and south of that there's South Vestal (right at the border). Both used to have post offices. -newkai | talk | contribs 07:07, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] neighborhood listings

The word "hamlet" had been used by someone to describe almost every neighborhood. I've replaced them with the word neighborhood. If someone can give me a good reason why they should be called hamlets I won't object, but it seems absurd. ---whisperednumber 8/19/06 12:18am

See Neighbourhood and Hamlet (place) and Administrative divisions of New York. ccwaters 12:56, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough. I'll switch them back. Although, since it has no legal meaning, I wonder why anyone bothers with the distinction. ---whisperednumber 8 August 2006, 9:19 pm
