wbng.comThanks mom and dad-Leather Corner Shoe Repair last days
Last week was final week my parents will be at the old shoe repair in over 50 years. It’s bitter sweet knowing the old plaza will be gone. I grew up spending my days in the old pool hall and movie theater, sneaked quarters out the register to get a some brownies at DeLascias bakery or play games at the Saturn II arcade and of course riding my bike at the old bmx track and jumping the fence of pool out back of the plaza. First hair cut was at Reggie’s old barber shop. That shop was a second home to me, walking there from Roosevelt or east middle after school. So thanks to my mom and dad for giving me a great place to grow up and have a great childhood. I hope the area does come back with what ever is planned

Real tiramisu?
Okay folks can anyone recommend a place that would have some delicious tiramisu on their menu? I'm hankering bad and new to the area.
Whole Foods, Trader Joes, or Costco in Binghamton?
Is there any possibility of any of these three stores opening up in the Binghamton area? There are none of them at all anywhere in the southern tier of ny.
Costco and Trader Joes are nationally growing businesses. And I imagine that Whole Foods will be popular with the SUNY Binghamton crowd.
I just feel like the region is completely starved of good grocery stores. We have enough Walmarts and dollar generals all over the area. Weis is mid. We need better options.
Making girl friends in my 30s...
I am a woman in my early 30s and I'm struggling to make friends. Sadly, due to a lot of mental health stuff, I've kind of drifted away from my existing friends and struggling to reconnect. I am hoping to make a few somewhat local female friends. Not sure if reddit is the place to do this but I don't think I want to use the dating apps to meet platonic friends.
If you wanna know a bit about me, I am newly married to my wonderful wife, I have a 4 year old step son, my jackchi is my best friend, and I am a bit awkward but very caring and mean well. I work remotely and was a trucker for 3ish years, so it's been a bit difficult making connections that way. My favorite things to do are cook, bake, and sew with my wife. I also like to draw but I am admittedly short on art supplies and need to build them back up. I'm a BU alum and I am pretty liberal if that matters to you.
There are a lot of things I used to do but my mental health took over and I've neglected my previous hobbies. I used to play disc golf, play golf, play guitar/bass, explore abandoned places and write blogs about them, and read books and watch documentaries regularly. I hope to get back into them and possibly with some new friends!
My biggest obstacle for making new friends is that I don't have a vehicle at the moment. That will hopefully change in the next few months but I figured I'd be up front with that. If you are someone who identifies as a woman of any age above 21 and want an awkward but funny friend, reach out to me. I might be open to friendships with men in the future but I have some trauma from previous experiences with cis men in particular.
Thanks for reading my wall of text.

Village of Endicott lawsuit against IBM moving forward.
Lawsuit originally asking for $100 million in damages by the village of Endicott that alleges IBM contaminated two village wells used for drinking water. The amount in damages was adjusted to the contamination of just two wells but it’s still a very damaging lawsuit Based upon severe contamination of two wells.

Job market broken?
I have applied for.a crap ton of jobs and can't seem to get an offer. I am getting frustrated with the lack of jobs around here. I apply and get denied as quick as a student gets drunk and hits his head at Dillinger's.

Piccolo’s Pizzeria Vestal
I know it’s still new, but looking for an honest review of the place. Seems like the owner has lined several pockets for social media promotions when in all reality, it’s just another pizza place. Does anyone know anything about the owner Frank?
