A crowd that organizers said was the largest in the parade’s 47-year history jammed downtown streets to greet Sen. Hillary Clinton, who returned to Scranton Saturday for the second time in five days, again to adoration.
“Hillary, Hillary, Hillary,” the people who filled downtown sidewalks frequently chanted.
As Mrs. Clinton walked, dozens of people constantly rushed ahead on adjacent sidewalks to get as close to her as possible. Girls screamed like when the Beatles arrived in the United States.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said parade day coordinator James “Bambi” Coyle, who’s been involved with parade planning for 20 years.

Typical attitude for the entire area. Progress is bad, status quo is good. Happy Easter, Angcat!
That's exactly how I got my Finbar. He was on my porch one day when I came home from work and greeted me. I said "hello," opened my door and he walked inside with me. He proceeded to check out every room in the house, cased out the litter box in the laundry room, sampled some of my cat Dulcie's food and then looked at me as if to say "Yes, this will do nicely, thank you."
I never looked back. He's my boy and I love him very much.
Buona Pasqua!
Wonderful story about your Finbar!!
