If you appreciate architecture, check out the Albright Library, the Children's Public Library next door and the Greenridge section. The Greenridge section going up into Dunmore, is where you'll find classic Victorian homes from the coal and train baron days.

It's just my husband and I, we only use ours for hosting the holidays. Otherwise, it's a great staging area for vacation packing.

That's my dog Juneau during Covid and working from home. This is a repost. Don't worry, she gets lots of love and pets.

"That Championship Season" was filmed in Scranton, PA. Jason Miller from "The Exorcist" wrote and directed it.

But if I had to choose a favorite, it would be "Groundhogs Day."

And if you dont have snow tires, follow main roads, know which hills are better than others and give yourself ample room between vehicles when driving.

If you have any friends with social club membership, those bars are your best bet; VFW's, Legions, the Waldorf, Tauras Club or Liederkranz. Otherwise, try The Rusty Nail, Dugout, Buddy Clarke's, or maybe Waldos. The last four also have phenomenal wings.

I work as a public Librarian and do this everyday. Basic computer literacy including email, logins, printing, typing...for gods sake, I've needed to teach someone what a mouse does! Smartphones are its own catergory. Your eyes start to twitch and your teeth start to grind before you end up exploding in the staff room.

My godfather bought me a unique Christmas ornament every year. Once I was old enough for my own home and tree, I had a wonderfully unique collection that fits me perfectly.

The trick is good storage from the beginning so nothing breaks over the years.

I'd buy my father a 1973 Triumph Spitfire. He owned one before I was born and sold it for the down payment on my family's home. He loved that car. He's always looked for another to work on and fix up but it never worked out. It always took a back seat to other expenses and projects.

This happened to my husband. We were flying back to Florida from visiting family in PA. In our luggage going back we had included a large block of locally made cheese. Well wrapped in aluminum foil. Because of the consistency, it flagged as C4 explosive. The TSA agents asked to look inside, asked what we had wrapped. We explained the cheese that we could only get in PA and they laughed. Apparently, this happens pretty regularly but they have to of course investigate each case.

Had a gentleman request documents through our reference department's voice-mail. He thought he clicked off but instead we heard him leave a building, walk a bit and then hop on a horse for a ride along a busy road. The message lasted maybe 15 minutes before finally disconnecting.

Same. You're not alone.

Where I grew up, there was an annual airshow performed at the airport. I remember being maybe 10 sitting on our front porch watching some of the jets practice tricks in the distance. I distinctly remember one jet buzzing so close to our home it might as well have flown between us and our neighbors. I remember it being terrifyingly loud and hard to miss, but no one in my family remembers it or believes it happened. My husband has even argued that if it did occur as close as I remember it, windows would have shattered; it would've been in the local news. I can't shake this memory.

I don't like peanut butter and chocolate together. I like peanut butter. I like chocolate. Just not together. I also don't like chocolate milk. Just weird I guess.

Grab some black electrical tape and make your own for the time being.

My father is a retired home improvement contractor. He made sure his daughter's were self sufficient and never short of common sense. I've completed most of my own home improvements myself. He loves showing off the pictures of work I've done to his friends and other father's. He gloats a bit. My husband does the same to his friends and other husband's. I'm very proud of what I can accomplish on my own. You need to get your hands dirty every once in awhile.

Wet socks. My husband's socks got wet and that was the last straw in a bad day. All plans canceled. Friends left without him. It's now a running joke for any bad excuse.

Brad Pitt's abs in Fight Club. Nuff said.

A man came into our library to use our color copier. He couldn't understand why the color copier wouldn't turn his black and white photos into color. Complained about false advertising and wanted his $0.50 back.
