A picture? I did a whole blogpost about my hometown of Binghamton, NY last year, and much more recently, a partial blogpost about Albany, NY, where I’ve been the last 30 years.
Well, all right:
When I was growing up, this was the post office in Binghamton. Now it’s the federal building.
Perhaps slightly before my time: it’s the house of the first Dutch governors, who resided in Albany.
This was an arcane piece of information my late father once noted that I found inexplicably interesting. Binghamton, NY is about in the middle of the state, east to west, but lies very close to the northern border of another state, Pennsylvania. To get to the state capital, Albany, you have to travel about 150 miles to the northeast (more like 140, but whatever).
Charlotte, NC, where my parents moved in 1974, and where I lived briefly in 1977, is about in the middle of the state, east to west, but lies very close to the northern border of another state, South Carolina. To get to the state capital, Raleigh, you have to travel about 150 miles to the northeast (more like 175, but close enough).
Hello,thank´s for visiting med. Yes Mjau is the same as meau;)Nice blogg.
Small world. My father was born in NY and mother in NC. Haven’t been back east in 30 years myself and don’t miss it.
