UNION-ENDICOTT PROTEST: Hundreds of high school students walked out of classes, according to this front page account in the Binghamton Evening Press in October 1975. Recognize anyone in this photo?
STUDENTS SPEAK OUT: 50 years ago today, some of my Union-Endicott High School classmates drove to The Evening Press offices in Vestal to talk with education editor David Rossie about "being jerked around" during a contract dispute. This was on the front page on October 17, 1975.
A BIG IDEA: The homes in this new Binghamton community aren't huge but they'll be appreciated by some of Broome County's military veterans. Watch the video and read this WNBF News story for details: wnbf.com/binghamton-t...

"PHILADELPHIA SALES" APARTMENTS? That's not the name of the new $31 million residential complex about to open in Johnson City. But the building IS located on the site of that once-iconic discount store that many of us remember fondly.

DIDN'T END WELL: The closing of two Broome County Cart 'n Bag supermarkets was front page news 50 years ago today. This is how The Evening Press reported the story on October 14, 1975.
MORE INVESTIGATIONS AHEAD? Binghamton City Council is preparing to call on the New York State Attorney General's office to review the conduct of former police chief Joseph Zikuski.
