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
They probably should have gone with the last sentence instead of the first.
Considering what happens when things get interesting and Rod Serling is around, I'd say they should consider themselves lucky.
The original scary door
Was very confused, because I thought this was Rodger Sterling from Mad Men for a minute.
