Bing Stories: Rod Serling | Binghamton, New York

When asked what Binghamton meant to legendary screenwriter and The Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling, his daughter Anne simply turns to the late great’s own words: "Everybody has to have a hometown, Binghamton's mine. In the strangely brittle, terribly sensitive make-up of a human being, there is a need for a place to hang a hat or a kind of geographical womb to crawl back into, or maybe just a place that's familiar because that's where you grew up. When I dig back through memory cells, I get one particularly distinctive feeling – and that's one of warmth, comfort and well-being. For whatever else I may have had, or lost, or will find – I've still got a hometown. This, nobody's gonna take away from me." These words, like her father’s memory, are very near and dear to Anne Serling, who fondly remembers her own visits to the Southern Tier where her family kept a summer cottage. In those days, her father would make a pilgrimage of sorts back home to Binghamton where he spent his formative years. He’d do it alone – visits to his old house, the carousel at Recreation Park, the places that encapsulated his experience growing up. His proverbial fingerprints are all over this city, be it the many references made on The Twilight Zone or the many tributes to him across the area. The high school he attended is now home to the Rod Serling School of Fine Arts, for one example. There’s a plaque on the bandstand in Recreation Park, which also hosts a carousel etched with famous scenes from Twilight Zone. Inside the Forum Theatre sits a bust of his visage and a wall detailing his indelible contributions to pop culture. http://visitbinghamton.org/bing-stories SUBSCRIBE (and click the bell!)
