The article is really interesting, especially because I live in one of those cities that is being left behind. Binghamton, NY was the home of IBM. (I say was because they are fleeing as fast as they can) As well as Singer Link. But there isn't any sort of social life outside the meathead packed bars. And there ain't shit for jobs anymore. It is really a sad place, a dying town. Nobody that can get out is staying, hell I don't plan on being here more than six months. I would like to get into computational linguistics but there isn't anyone doing that in the region. It sucks...
