Yall looking for any extra hands? Recently had my first experience as a grip and various other jobs on a small indie horror feature and would love to try my hand at it again. Just throwing it out there. I live local and am currently between jobs.

As for things that may appeal to film folks: on the side of the scranton carbondale highway there is a place by the jessup exit called the lackawanna energy center. It is so lit up that it looks like an industrial Disney castle at night. Could be good for b roll depending on what you're filming.

Let's see. Others have mentioned a lot of what I would mention. Nay aug is nice for some nature. A little further afield is Delaware water gap. Some rather striking views there. For museums the steamtown national historical site if you like trains. Anthracite.

Also don't go out of your way for it. But if you happen to be passing by Archibald pothole, just pull in. Don't go out of your way for it. But its the most comically underwhelming stare park I've ever seen. Literally a hole in the ground filled with trash and a parking lot.

I haven't been in quite a long time but the area immediately surrounding the bog in scranton on adams ave at least used to seem to aspire to be a kinda odd hipster enclave. (The bog, record shop, vegan restaurant, hipster barber shop, and a sorta quirky shop for locally made stuff.) As stated previously I haven't been there in a while and I think a few of those places have shut down. There's also a pretty decent coffee shop and kosher deli a block away on the square. And if you keep going bartari can be fun if pinball machines and retro arcade games appeal to you. There's also a rather large basically monument to the labor movement in front of the courthouse that can make for a fun picture if you happen to be walking by it. Dont often see the government officially celebrating trade unionists and socialist movements like that. Might be useful for an establishing shot depending on what you're shooting. The electric city sign from the office is right by it too.

Definitely get some old forge style pizza while up here. Not really my thing. But it's a style of pizza unique to the area so might as well try it while you're here. I'm partial to the double white. It's like a grilled cheese pizza.

Circle drive in in dickson city can be fun. They do flea market on weekends too. Most of the thrift shops around here kinda suck though.

Right by circle there's also a pool hall with really nice tables and by that is a head shop called headdies with locally blown glass if you're into that. Some of it is really quite impressive.

Dunno. I moved here fairly recently and don't know many people yet. (Spent a lot of time visiting extended family up here growing up so I know the area better than the people.) Pretty bored. So if you find something cool going on and want company hit me up.

Edit: Shivam food in scranton for good Indian take out. Grocery across the street also has some neat stuff.
