I always like to see your photo tours. I would enjoy seeing some of the south valley area, but I do know there are a lot of other nicer areas. I know it's a bit of a hike from Scranton, but there are some pretty neat houses & views around the shickshinny area too, might be worth a stop over.

I've actually never been to the Shickshinny area in all of my years of living here, but I'd most certainly be willing to scope it out for a tour sometime soon. If I'm not mistaken, it's a very rural area, so it might be best to capture the region in spring. It's not too far out of the way at all.

I vote South Scranton. The area has gotten an awful rap. I think it would be good to show that there are great sections of South Side with beautiful houses. A few low-income developments have given the entire section a bad name and lowered values incredibly.

I agree that not all of South Side is bad. The neighborhoods north of Nativity are not bad at all, as well as East Mountain and Minooka. BUT...South Side's problems are not completely rooted in the "projects." Basically all of lower South Side....Pittston Ave, Cedar Ave, Prospect Ave, and the area of the "flats" around S. Washington Ave has become the ghetto....unfortunately for me, some of the lower South Side problems have started inching their way into West Side via Luzerne St.

well the township or burrow or what ever they call it is pretty typical for our area. lots of closely spaced houses down around the main street area, but the further out you get the more spread out they get, there are some very impressive Victorians out there too. Out by the Shickshinny lake area, which incidentally is really not that close to the burrow, there are a lot of newer houses and McMansions that are not so impressive but are very big. the burrow itself is pretty interesting. Down in the lowlands that are constantly flooded, most of the houses that used to be there are just lots now. many of the houses that are the still there have either been re-built on top of large concrete slabs or are just still there by chance... the shickshinny levy is a joke to look at considering the flood last year topped it by I think 10+ feet... up in the hills of the shickshinny is pretty neat too. the entire place is on the foothill of a mountain so they got creative with how to build and place houses for the counters of the land. It makes for some interesting driving!
