Downtown Binghamton Brightens with Green Grass in January

It's not a typical mid-winter scene in the Twin Tiers.

Courthouse Square in downtown Binghamton Tuesday afternoon appeared almost spring-like after the snow from two recent storms melted away.

The milder temperatures over the past weekend have given way to chillier conditions and forecasters said some more snow was headed to the region.

But the appearance of some green grass, along with the recently-installed benches along Court Street helped brighten the business district.

With the arrival of the benches, the only piece of the Court Street Gateway Project remaining is the planting of flowers when spring arrives.
