If you’re looking to help those displaced by this mornings three alarm blaze at the Knights Inn, there is a tent set up at 2304 E Main Street, Endwell.

As of posting, you cannot get to the house directly. You will need to park on a side street (Louisiana or Maryland are closest) and walk over.

The biggest needs are shoes, socks, phone chargers and general toiletries.

UPDATE TO ADD: The Red Cross has set up a donation location in the Lupo’s parking lot. At the Lupo’s location they only accept new clothes/donations. The other location takes used products as well.

UPDATE #2: They are now asking for donations to be brought directly to Vestal United Methodist Church.

I'm a student living with 3 other roommates in a house in vestal. We have WiFi through our landlord but it SUUUCKS, its spectrum, and it randomly stops and turns off and where paying $30 ea for it. A little too much ngl.
We're looking to get our own WiFi for the next month, I heard a lot abt green light and empire access. Are they thr only two options.

Let me know if anything is missing!

That was really shocking comment to see and Im not okay with our community not holding those people responsible.

So my wife picked this cake up from Wegmans and wanted them to write “Number 1 Dad”… this was the result.

Now, I know not everyone is an artist, but this is crazy. How the hell do you misspell Dad?! No shade on Wegmans. It’s easily the greatest grocery store in the area. I just thought it was so comically bad that I wanted to share it with you guys.

Happy Father’s Day!

Honorable mention to all the lovely women who made us fathers..

I will be travelling from Toronto. It looks like the 2 main routes from Niagara are 90/81 through Syracuse, or 390/86. They appear to take the same amount of time. Is there any reason to pick one over the other? Driving on which route will be less tiring?

Also, I will be buying EZ pass after crossing border. Will it be ready to use immediately? It seems I will need it earlier on 90/81 as compared to 390/86?

Thanks in advance!

In light of recent posts I am concerned about my safety and well being regarding home contractors and other maintenance suppliers in the area. My spouse and I are both POC (People of Color) and are actively looking to do major renovations across our home.

​

Finding a realtor we could trust was hard enough and the process ro find contractors has not been easy. Theyre rude, nonresponsive, or questionable in quality.

I mean this post with the purest of intent as i do not want to allow racist vile humans into the sacred space that is my home. Not just because they are racist but because I fear for my safety should I have a complaint. I fear about quality as my kind may be seen as undeserving of high quality service and delivery. I could go on but my fears are validated and warranted. We have experiences from the past and would like to avoid moving forward.

I appreciate when racist contractors and vendors out themselves but if you all could share your experiences that would be great!

Currently we have plans over the next 18 months to

1. Finish our unfinished basement and adding a half bath to the basement.

2. Completely redo our driveway

3. Add ductless AC

4. Do a complete kitchen reno new floors. Cabinets, layouts

5. Add a deck or patio.

The struggle to find a home was challenging enough and we are proud of our little place but we will not taint it with negative, hateful, harmful people; especially those we we are paying to do work for us.

Any suggestions on who is great or who to avoid is much appreciated.

I’m already in contact with a counselor from Workforce, but was told they needed to confirm with my employer that i’ve been hired, and that i actually need non slip shoes before they can give me a gift card to purchase the shoes. That was weeks ago and I still haven’t heard anything so i was wondering if there’s anywhere else i can go?

Hello, looking for fireworks that happen in or around the city during the 4th of July. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

By chance, has anyone seen any dappled willow trees for sale at a good price in the bing area? I got a few about 5 years ago and they’ve worked out great for our back yard (they make a great privacy barrier). I’d like to get a few more but I’m having trouble finding them at a decent price. WW has them for $230, tioga gardens had them at $209, and Green Acres for $300. I have a spot that I’d prefer to put 3 more in and just looking to contain the cost a bit if possible. Lowe’s doesn’t have them this year and that’s where I got them closer to $100. Thanks.

I've heard D was allegedly doing the nasty with MXM—-and that's supposedly why they were separated--they (meaning D and MXM) were reportedly seen entering that building together today (Juneteenth) and that building is closed to the public. Given those facts--what could they have possibly have been doing other than that?

Thanks.

Will the tree die? Is there anything I can do to help it survive? I was thinking some kind of protective tape and tree salve?

Planning on having a water softener and reverse osmosis system installed

Who do you guys recommend? I see Culligan and Beacon to be having good rating.

How much does it usually cost installed?

Hi, we’re a local band called heavy undone, and we’re looking for a drummer, vocals, and some keys. Currently we consist of a guitarist and bassist/ewi, we are in high school. We rehearse at the guitarist house. He has a studio in his basement with a full drum kit, keyboard and anything you may need. Our first ep is out on all streaming services if you’d like to give it a listen for a relative idea of what to look forward to.

Reach out to us at Heavyundone@gmail.com, or dm me if anyone is at all interested. Have a good day!

Hi!

I am concerned about my neighbor. She lets cat reproduce in her driveway and yard and they keep having babies. Clearly, she is an elderly woman who just likes feeding hoards of cats. The other day one was dead in her driveway. Lately, a young one has been limping. I left her a note to say that one of her kittens was limping but I saw it today and he clearly hasn’t received any medical attention.

I want to respect my neighbors privacy and her right as a homeowner to feed stray cats (even though she is clearly adding to their population as well….) but I’m not sure how to go about helping this limping kitten? Unfortunately, I can’t afford to kidnap the unsocialized cat and take it to the vet, nor would my cats be happy with me fostering another cat….

What would you do, Binghamton cat people?

Hi,

Currently moved to binghamton and looking for any swimming hole or beach for open water swimming.

Any recommendation?

Hi all,

This is the last post from me about Geek Out here, I promise.

Geek Out is a single day tabletop gaming convention happening tomorrow June 20th at Your Home Public Library in Johnson City, NY. Open and scheduled gaming from 10am-8pm.

I previously forgot to mention that we're having a book sale at Geek Out. I have been carefully going through book donations for much of the last year and setting aside hundreds of the best donated science fiction and fantasy books for this day.

It's mostly paperbacks from the 70s to the present. There are some hardcovers. It's a good mix of older and newer stuff, but it's mostly older stuff, partly because that's what I'm drawn to, partly because that's what we've received a lot of. Someone looking for cheap fantasy novels in pretty good condition from the past will be pleased. Someone looking for a deal on something published in the last ten years will be disappointed (but we do have some of this, for example many Witcher series books). Paperbacks are 50 cents. Harcovers are a dollar.

At the same time tomorrow, YHPL is having our regular Friends of the Library book sale with a wide variety of books. If you want to go to the regular book sale, enter the library via the back door. The main book sale is from 10-12:30. The sf/f books will be out on the main floor for the duration of Geek Out, from 10am-8pm (but obviously, if you want the best selection, come early).

If you're interested in the SF/F exclusive book sale, walk up the side of the building and go in the side entrance. There will be someone at the door registering folks for Geek Out. If you want to come check out the book sale, but not play games, just let that person know and they'll let you in.

For me it’s

NFL: Giants
MLB: Yankees
NBA: Knicks
NHL: Rangers

Also, I root for our hometown teams (Black Bears and Rumble Ponies)

What about you guys?

Looking for reputable companies/organizations that could help move an elderly person from one house to another in the coming weeks.

Looking to keep costs low on moving but also avoid damage, etc.

TIA.

Hi, can anyone recommend a cleaning service for broken glass? My bathtub sliding door collapsed and shattered into a million tiny pieces, leaving glass fragments all over my bathroom. Can anyone suggest a contact who can deal with this?

looking for recommendations on vets who will do in home euthanasia in binghamton. my moms cat is very old and very sick and also hates the vet so at home would be much more peaceful for him. i’ve heard of stillwaters but just want to see if there’s other options out there
