Parlor City

For those of you who are new to the Triple Cities area, here are five major things that the Binghamton area is most known for, in no particular order.

Binghamton has been known as the "Parlor City" for a long time. In fact, the 150th anniversary of the first published use of the nickname is coming up.

Apparently, that nickname didn't sit well with some Binghamtonians, thinking it was less than flattering, but a campaign to stop it, failed.

The Binghamton area is quickly becoming a hub for education, science, and medicine and the growth shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon.
