Quite a few of Serling's TZ episodes are set in the Binghamton area. "Mirror Image" mentions Binghamton and Cortland as being stops on the bus route one of the MCs is trying to get on. "A Stop at Wiloughby" is also said to be based on the small towns that surround Binghamton area. - I'm actually from the Binghamton area and have ridden the Recreation Park carousel along with the one at Ross Park.
Thanks for this lovely glimpse of the Binghamton carousel restoration honoring Rod Serling and for telling us your personal connection to it. I came here wishing I could see "Walking Distance" again, in a paroxysm of nostalgia for my childhood in Berkeley, so vivid in memory I feel like I can almost step back into it. We often rode on a carousel very much like this one. (And I was babysat as a baby by Einstein's granddaughter!)
very cool definitely going to check it out on the way to Unadilla National. there's only one thing they forgot to put in that painting is Rod Serling holding a cigarette

Well done! I used to live in that exact neighborhood.
