Another feather in the cap of downtown Binghamton, even if it didn't have much to do with downtown Binghamton per se. It could have been in a number of Binghamton neighborhoods.
A lot of Fridays (if I am not out walking) I go to the Farmers Market, see if the music is good (this year, nothing in my taste) and if not, to the library I go. Not this time. From the Farmers Market I headed somewhere else. The library is only about 1/2 block away from "the scene of the crime".
The apartment house where the murder took place isn't far from a Binghamton landmark, Phelps Mansion, either.
In fact, it is just steps away.
First Friday is next Friday. Probably by then the blood of a senseless crime would have been scrubbed away, and First Friday attendees will walk past, some oblivious to what had happened only a week ago.
So it goes. But first, one other thing:
Our local paper greeted the day with the headline "Binghamton fatal stabbing 'never should have happened".
Takes a bit of thought to think of a murder that should have happened, doesn't it?
