I mean why not? Also is there a way to do an arrangement of the Walking Distance soundtrack on a calliope?

We lost the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror but this is a more fitting monument. A beautiful story that gives off a glow, now this whole park will radiate that glow.

When the borders open up, my family is going to NYC. On the way we want to stop in Binghamton almost exclusively for Rod related things. His name would be an very welcome thing.

That's a wonderful idea! It should've happened years ago. I wish I could sign a 1,000 times.

Would be a nice touch to include a small theater to showcase his works - most the younger have never seen. It's episodes like Walking Distance & Willoughby which can teach compassion and empathy - sadly lacking in so many today.

Please do commemorate the park for Mr Serling. And maybe place the old 'Homewood 1 1/2 Miles' sign near the Merry Go round for the tourists?

This would be an awesome tribute to Rod Serling! Twilight Zone was way ahead of its time, even though it was only in black & white! The Theater Dept. at Binghamton University could also get involved with this!

Would be a wonderful tribute to one of the best and most important writers in history, his messages and words are as relevant today as they where back when Rod first wrote them all those years ago. A man truly ahead of his time

There is already a marker on the bandstand and the carousel has Twilight Zone paintings on it. No better place to honor Rod than his beloved park, walking distance from his boyhood home.
