Home of the Spiedie and a few other trifles (IBM, Endicott Johnson Shoes, Tony's of Endicott, Pat Mitchell's Homade Ice Cream, etc.).
My family are the originators of the Spiedie (Salamida)
Since very few people know what a Speidie is......
http://www.spiedie.com/ My grandfather on my dad's side work at IBM for countless years
My grandfather on my mom's side was the purchasing agent for Endicott Johnson for 25 years and grandma work in the factory for 30+ years (This is the grandma that passed away last week).
Pat Mitchell's ice cream is still here

Ton't Pizza is also still around but has moved and changed a bit. His brother now uses all the original recipies..... "Nick's". He is about a half mile up the road.
Don't forget we still have many original carousels (merry-go-rounds) in the area with two of them right here in Endicott!
Awesome--thats about 2.5 hours from me according to Google Maps--ROAD TRIP!!!! I'll be in touch, maybe get a couple of us from around these parts. Thanks!!!!
That would be great. Gather 'em together and come on up.
