"Walking Distance" Carousel in Binghamton

I still need to check out Robert Fitton's video from his trip to Binghamton. Here's another video of the carousel that came up. It's really more a set of still pictures, but on my computer the pictures blurred a little so I couldn't read some of the photographed plaques.

I've never been clear if this is the original carousel from Serling's childhood or something based on the original. I didn't get a chance to see the carousel when I was in Binghamton last October.

As many of you know, "Walking Distance" is the story of a stressed out advertising executive who travels back in time and meets his boyhood self. Some people consider it one of the best Twilight Zone's ever and a great example of what television is capable of at it's best.
