Should be thank them for using a nice picture instead of something like Binghamton's burnt out building or Watertown's map of South Dakota?

@Carrie That's actually how most buildings in Binghamton look most of the time...it's coming back though...any day now... Least that what my family and friends have been speculating for the past 15 years.
