I’ve spent several days in NE PA—Scranton and neighboring Wilkes-Barre.
I’d be very distressed if the rest of the US appeared as rundown, noisy, and hopelessly ramshackled.
My father was considering moving back to Pa to be with his remaining siblings but then he talks about how immigrants are taking over his hometown, crime is rampant and trash and abandoned houses are everywhere.
OH, and several years ago, the newly installed politician in his hometown made everyone stand for the black pledge of allegiance.
