| 1. | Scranton | ||
|
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. He's not really a dummy, he's just from Scranton.

| 7. | Duryea | ||
|
- A small town in Northeastern Pennsylvania with a population of roughly 600. literally. Majority of the civilians are either over the age of 85, or under the age of 6. If you happen to be 1 of the 25 teenagers who live here, you know the names of the other 24. It's a quiet town overly infested with crickets & mosquito's. The dirtiest part of the Susquehanna River runs through here, & it's 99% sewage, 1% river. The teenagers keep themselves occupied by stumbling around high or drunk, or sitting on a street corner for long periods of time. The cops enjoy making you miserable. Don't get caught walking around passed 10pm if you're under the age of 18. You WILL get cited. Person 1- "So where are you from?"
Person 2- "Duryea, Pa." Person 1- "Where the hell is that?" Person 2-"*exasperated sigh*" |
