Scranton is a city in north-east Pa that is, and the only way to describe it, fucked up. Built on coal when that shit is what people used to keep from dying and heat their homes in the winter (even uppity fucks from NYC who think they are a self sufficient planet and could secede from the universe)but has fallen on hard times as has the industry. The people who live there have been festering resentment at everybody while at the same time trying to maintain their dignity and history. Also, it is close to NYC and Philly so intelligent and entrepreneurial criminals set up shop there to take advantage of the situation. What does this mean, Scranton has idiosycrancies that are both cool and weird. Is so fucked up that it cannot be compared legitimately to any other city. And is a place where some kind old granny will fry you up a batch of pierogies with mangoes (green peppers in Scranton) if you ask her nicely, or some meth head will shank your spleen for the last of your warm beer. Was the home of the Molly Maguires, the original gang who fucked up shit old school. Google it sometime.
The urban planning in Scranton is thus: church, bar, church, church, bar, crackhouse, university, bar, church, bar.

Get the Scranton Nachos mug.Scranton, Pa is a city in the shit hole know as NEPA. First off its pronounced with out the "t" sound, skran-n. Home to the most messed up people in the world. No seriously did anyone reading this hear about the lady that had like 30 bags of crack up her vag plus change. No one besides Joe Biden has ever made it out of this pothole infested city. Nicknamed the "Electric City" because Scranton was the first city, ever, to use Electric Cable Cars. The hit NBC show "The Office" is said to take place here. The University of Scranton located near downtown is a fucking joke. Only good thing about Scranton is La Festa Italiano and the Greek Orthodox Church by the library's authentic Greek Food Fest. That's the pothole infested fucked up city that is Scranton.
-Scranton is pronounced skran-n there is no "t" sound.
-Scranton, Pa is full of fucking potholes that someone should really get off their lazy ass and fix.
-GUY1: Hey want to watch the Office?
-GUY2: Doesn't that take place in Scranton?
-GUY1: Yes.

Get the Scranton mug.Scranton was once a thriving city during the coal mine era. It was nicknamed "the Eletric City" because of its Elitric trolleys that ran through downtown.Although they haven't exsisted for 50+ years...We are still reffered to as the eletric city. The mall of steamtown sucks, its filled with little punks who think they are cool who can't go anywhere else on weekends. So they just reside to the steamtown mall. Its decently close to NYC and Philly, so we get all of their drug dealers since we are so conviniently located in between.There are about 3 clubs in scranton and about 50 resteraunts. Some people seem fascinated with the trains...(usually new yorkers). And scranton has become somewhat famous for trains at Steamtown.No one calls Subs, Subs instead call them Hoagies, and pizzas aren't reffered to as pie's. So there you go Scranton....
Chris : What chu' doing tonite??
George: I'm going to go drive around scranton hoping to find some Hoagies.
