The owner of recently closed Brannigan’s Restaurant referred to Scranton area as “...a disaster economically.”
I also noted 2 other restaurants closed and a long established trucking company.
The demise of mining, railroads, and steel mills/foundries pretty much killed the Scranton/W-Barre area. And my reading indicates that going up I-81 to Binghamton area leads to more economic decay...
Democrats ruined the area. High taxes and no young people thanks to the Casey and Biden types.
Scranton now is trying to make due with hospitals and colleges as their main industries.
Has anything changed much since 1951 when my family had to leave the area or go hungry. They probably have better welfare now.
