Scranton
The largest city in Northeastern Pennsylvania, with a population of 76,
415 recorded during the 2000
Census. Scranton was a
boomtown in the late 1800s/early
1900s with
the dawn of the coal and iron industries. Scranton fell on hard times after World War II after demand for coal dropped sharply, and has been losing population at a steady rate ever since. Nowadays, Scranton is filled with many nice, hardworking people. It is also home to numerous drug dealers from Philadelphia and New York, who come to Scranton because they can't make it in the big cities. Scranton is also filled with an amazing amount of assholes who do nothing but complain about how much Scranton sucks and there is nothing to do here. Local officials often
tout Scranton for its interstates providing
easy access to New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, D.C., everywhere. Perhaps the negative assholes should hop on the highway and fuck off.

A place that is still far enough from Philly and NY and also large enough to have its own
home-grown customs, many of them charming and an equal many
maddening. Scranton is the largest of 40 or so unique towns in Northeastern PA where each town is like one of the city states that existed before
unification of Italy, Germany, or Greece.

This is the city that once was great, then sucked,and is now trying to not suck even though it is an extremely difficult task. Scranton is beginning to see changes in diversity, but not changes in lifestyle. The average Scranton lifestyle includes consuming 4 plus
quarts of
Yuengling,
eating food that leg drops your arteries, and smoking pot to forget that your are in Scranton, which has nothing to do for fun besides drivining around. The kids at the University suck ass. If they aren't good natured townies, they are stuck up rich pricks from New York, Long Island, and Jersey. God I hate being home unless I have access to a car, which is
Scranton's strongest feature: good location. Not too far from NYC of Philly, Scranton also has tons of quickly accesible roads that have little to no police force. Also the locals are fairly easy to take advantage of.
Example:
Average Scranton day:
Wake up, put on sweat suit, eat
cold pizza from last night, watch TV,
take out rage on someone, meet up with people you don't particularly like until your drunk...

Example:
Regional Manager of a paper and
printer supply company: "People this is
scranton, and Many people consider that to be the Paris of Northeastern Pennsylvania. And in Paris, it is rude for a woman to
have less than four lovers."

Scranton is not a piece of shit as everyone claims. Scranton is actually a beautiful city. It holds so much history that many residents lack knowledge of. What makes this city 'shitty', are the dirty,
scummy, wanna-be
ghettoes, and people who don't respect other people. Plus the people walking around thinking they are
tough shit by stabbing, shooting, and killing other people. So if you think Scranton is shitty, you don't know enough about the city and you probably are the problem. Ty
