Binghamtonian is a blog by journalist and Endwell native Jay Bradley highlighting all there is to do in the Triple Cities (Greater Binghamton), NY area.
Things will be up and running here shortly, but you can subscribe in the meantime if you'd like to stay up to date and receive emails when new content is published!
What you can expect
All content will be delivered via email and on this site, with the ability to turn delivery on and off at your preference via the account settings menu once signed up. Turning off email delivery will not affect your access to premium content on the site.
This is manually written and curated (aka no A.I.) and any sponsorships will be clearly labeled as such.
Monday Weekly Events Newsletter:
Spotlight upcoming events, concerts, and festivals for the week, with other recommendations and highlights peppered in.
Regularly occurring events or those exclusive to members of an organization will not be covered. But in the future, expect regularly updated resources for things like local organizations to join, trivia nights, rec sports, and more.
Our coverage area is Broome County plus or minus what is accessible nearby (like Owego).
This is essentially compiled via scouring the many disparate local events sites, be it the Visit Binghamton Calendar, WSKG Community Calendar, Facebook, or others.
With this newsletter, to stay the same level of informed about community events you would have to dedicate a lot of time (trust me). So here's hoping it makes it easier than ever for you to engage with what's local 😄
If you want to let this publication know about something in advance, send an email to info@binghamtonian.news!
If we miss something, shoot us a message and let us know where the best place to find it will be!
Wednesday 'Swamp Root' Variety Newsletter:
Premium subscribers also get a weekly variety column every Wednesday named after the region's famous 1800s elixir.
Much like that - you won't be sure what you'll find inside!
Friday News Roundup Newsletter:
This newsletter collects the best stories published by area outlets to save you time, keep you informed, and respect your intelligence.
Why?
We lie in the crossroads of the northeast, the Valley of Opportunity, the Carousel Capital of the World, the Parlor City.
We have beautiful nature, a thriving local performing arts scene, live music to be found across the region, deep history, a swath of passionate nonprofits, varied industries, a patchwork of proud and celebrated ethnic communities, and sports to play in and watch up the wazoo! It's a fantastic place to raise kids, with great schools that offer a wide variety of courses, and excellent institutions like the Discovery Center, Ross Park, and Animal Adventure.
But I understand where people are coming from.
I could just say that it's a "skill issue" in finding what to love about the area, but that's not quite fair. News outlets in the area that rely primarily on press releases or have limited resources do not currently offer a good resource on things to do, with established calendars being incomplete or relying primarily on user submissions.
So despite the Triple Cities (or Greater Binghamton Area, depending on your preference) being a metro of a quarter of a million people, it can often feel small and quiet, with any gems feeling hidden.
Binghamtonian is here to change that, helping the community get as engaged and informed as it can be while saving everyone time and effort doing so!
