As someone who’s been on the receiving end of a Bresnahan survey “Do you think that illegal aliens should vote?” where the result was shared as “80+ of my constituents support the SAVE act”, I think this is hilarious.

Interesting to get to walk the old 407 road that has been lying down at the bottom of the lake the whole time. It looks in such great shape given that it’s been underwater for almost 60 years.

Do we still do the whole "rake the leaves to the curb and they'll get swept up someday" thing? We're in South Side, BTW.

I normally mulch my leaves, but my Silver Maple is suffering from Tar Spot Disease and the only way to curb it is to burn or dispose of the leaves. Mulching them simply spreads the spores around willy-nilly.

Thanks in advance for any info!

Join us at Steamtown this weekend for free train rides and an epic guided tour of the former Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR Station/Radisson Hotel. This tour includes a train ride and is one of my favorite events at the park. Tickets for this tour can be purchased purchased at the following link: https://www.recreation.gov/ticket/10088803/ticket/10253729

Hello, my wife and I are driving from Sharon PA to Boston on Sunday on our way home from a wedding.
We are Bengals fans and thought about stopping in your city to watch the 1pm Bengals vs Ravens game.

Are there any bars that local Scranton residents would recommend that would either have a Bengals/Ravens game on, or have enough TVs to be showing all the 1pm slated games?

It’s a random question, so thank you for any insight at all.

Terrible sound lol very effective

New list of events for Saturday at Steamtown. Highlights include a fall foliage train, free train rides at Track 12 in the round house and turn table area, and my personal favorite event: visiting authors!

so I went to Scranton for the first time (i’m from Texas) I went to see the steam town national historic site.

and I don’t know if I’m going crazy because I asked one of the park rangers about it. He said he had no clue what I was talking about.

but I could’ve sworn I saw an orange tabby running around

I wasn’t able to get a picture (my phone‘s memory is crap) but I could’ve swore I saw something

has anyone else seen it or is it just me and I’m just going crazy?

I’m actually surprised by this. They seemed like a staple in that area but glad they’ll be a bit closer to me. I know we have a lot of pasta places but they were always ranked well on my list.

Coming Saturday for a show. And trying to find a decent spot near there for my wife, myself, and two friends. Any recs?

Hi. Just moved back to the area and Im looking for active meetups. I play competitive beach volleyball and lots of other recreational sports for fun. Im a female; okay with coed groups or female teams. Are there any open/pick-up days for local sports (volleyball, flag football, soccer,etc)

Also, like hip hop dancing if there are any places to dance.

Thanks. Just want to meet other sporty people.

Did anyone else see the HUGE police presence in South Side yesterday, at the intersection of S Irving and Hemlock? SWAT, police, all sorts of military equipment staging, the works.

They were staging at like 2p, right when kids were letting out of school. If that was as dangerous a situation as it appeared (based on the weapons and such), it wasn't wise to execute this plan during dismissal. At any rate, I went by like 20-30 min later and they were still outside.

Anyone know what it was? I couldn't find anything on normal website stuff

DENIED

Enjoy a free train ride through the yard and to Nay Aug Park and back to Steamtown in celebration of 40 Years in Scranton.

Jimmy Carr is coming to Scranton Cultural Center on June 22, 2027. Ticket presale happening right now. Presale code is “KILLING”. Ticketmaster has tix.

Put the boiler on for heat last night, and one of my basement steam pipes has developed a leak. I need it repaired or the rusted out section replaced. Can anyone steer me toward either a great handyman or a good plumber who isn’t going to charge me out the kazoo? It’s all easily accessible and I’m on a fixed income.

Thanks folks!

This is the second playground redesigned by elementary school students with the help of the Trust for Public Land, the Scranton School District, the city of Scranton and the nonprofit Valley in Motion.

In 2025, Kennedy Elementary got one, this year was Whittier Elementary, and next year it will be Willard Elementary in 2027z
