      You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much better. Prepare to enter The Scary Door.

    That quote is not a exactly ringing endorsement of Binghamton. They have good spiedies there, at least.

      I think it’s more an existentialist response than an indictment of Binghamton:

      “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.” —Rod Serling

      Considering what happens when things get interesting and Rod Serling is around, I’d say they should consider themselves lucky.
