Scranton From You Know, The Office

Bloganuary writing prompt
Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

I lived for most of my life outside Scranton, Pennsylvania, and I never really experienced the city itself. There have been times that I was in Scranton, but it was for a quick visit, or I was near the entrance, drunk out of my mind. I’ve been to neighboring towns outside of it, but never in the city itself, exploring what’s there to it.

Now I honestly don’t know what the city has to offer for attractions and entertainment. But I would still want to go visit one day, and I mean as a sober tourist this time. Unfortunately, we moved further away from the city, and our chances to go there are less now.

Philadelphia is closer to us now, so we can replace Scranton with that, but I would much rather walk around Scranton than Philadelphia in my opinion.

Sorry, it was a long day at work, and it took the creativity out of me tonight, or else I would have put a lot more thought into today’s answer.
