Do you have schools in your town that look, say, out of place in comparison with the local strip mall or apartment complex? Post your school here and tell about it.

Re: Binghamton, NY
Does anyone know what the original purpose was for all those humongous, old frat houses on the river?

Long Island structures
Millions of dollars went into building the extravagant bath houses and boardwalk of Jones Beach State Park in the 1920’s, not to mention turning a barren sand bar into a habitat for flora and fauna.
