SCRANTON, Pa.

Joe Biden was born at Mercy Hospital, went to school at St. Paul’s, played baseball at Maloney Field, scrapped with local toughs, skinned his knees on the dirt roads. When he returns to his old Green Ridge neighborhood, where he spent the first 10 years of his life, he likes to pick up a “regular hoagie,” the one with the special sauce, at Hank’s Hoagies.

He was born in Mercy Hospital. His family lived in the city’s Green Ridge section and left for Delaware when he was 10, but he often returned for summer vacations and family visits.

Looks like there is one powerful, influential nun that doesn't mind putting on her Obamah knee-pads.

Thanks for posting. I had read it in the Scranton Times-Tribune article last week that you sourced, but did a “post and run” and am just now getting back online.
