Uh, what is this?

BingPop is pop culture. It’s Binghamton News, nightlife, and art. It’s Endwell, Endicott, and Johnson City. What’s going on downtown after 5 and where’s the hot new restaurant to grab lunch. It’s a catalogue of the quirkiest stuff in Broome County and instant updates from a ton of reliable (and occasionally not so reliable) sources.

Where’s that neat little brunch place in Whitney Point and what’s the newest chain to open its doors on the Vestal Parkway. We’ll talk about the staples: Boca Joe’s, Number 5, and the Cyber Café West. What’s must-see at the Art Mission Theater and who’s showing at the Brunelli Gallery. And the latest show to be announced at the Broome County Arena.

But you’ll also know what’s up and coming before it’s come up. Mostly, it’s all about the Southern Tier. With a nice bit of trash about Paris Hilton and Brad Pitt folded in for flavor. And although it’s true: we do [heart] Binghamton. It doesn’t mean we always gotta be nice...

EMERGENCY: Don’t make the Village of Owego a loser.

March 9th, 2009
by Joshua B

OK, people, it’s time to pull together.  Because, let’s face it, nobody likes a loser.  And that’s what the Village of Owego is about to become.  A loser.

Here’s the deal: Budget Travel Magazine is running a contest to find the Coolest Small Town in America.  And like most important contests in life, it’s a popularity contest; that’s right, I rank this one right up there with “Prom King”, “Captain of the Cheerleading Squad,” and “President of the United States”. Whichever town gets the most votes, wins the title.

Owego

Now Owego was WAAAAY out in the lead only a few short weeks ago.  But since then, the nasty people of Rockland, Maine have come from behind and are now a hundred votes ahead.  Personally, I suspect treachery.  That’s right: cheating.  And by “suspect”, I really mean “intend to generate they wildly unfounded rumor that they are”.  I feel comfortable doing this, because I suspect that the people of Rockland don’t know how to find me.  And are incapable of operating a car.  Or using a map.  Or a GPS.

How’s that for trash talk?  Are you motivated yet, non-losers of Owego?!?

SO GET ON THERE AND VOTE.

(And just so you know, Owego, if this whole “winning” thing doesn’t work out, I might be forced to pretend I don’t know you in the cafeteria at lunchtime.)

  • Jamey responded:

    the last I checked it’s neck and neck with a difference of only 4 votes and that was including mine
