I put out an APB yesterday for things in Scranton that are “staples” of the area. I have an idea for a design, and want to represent Scranton with iconography of its history and culture. I started with a decent list, but am really interested in what others associate with Scranton (other than the Office).

Below is a running list of ideas and things—to be updated for sure.

History & Heritage

• Coal, mines, mining (via @NEPA_MOM)
• Electricity, Electric City sign
• Steamtown, trolleys, trains, railroads (via @NEPA_MOM)
• Baconville (former name of Jermyn, via @cdevroe)
• La Festa Italiana
• St. Patrick’s Day Parade

• Archibald Pot Hole (via @cdevroe & @timatcoke)
