Pedestrians/bicyclists being hit by vehicles seems to be a very common occurrence here.
I'm not a clumsy tourist,it's just PA road design

I honestly never really thought Scranton is any different of a city than any other American city. When you say yes Scranton is still a city I don't understand.

What makes it different?

my mom went through PA a few months back and said it was a very pretty place, Im not sure what part but she was on her way to NYC so if Scranton is on the way then maybe Scranton was pretty.

I've been in Wilkes-Barre,but it was about 7 or 8 years ago,with my family---we were on our way to Massachusetts. I can't say Wilkes-Barre made much of an impression on me,good or bad. It might be alot different now. The area around it though(Pocono Mtns.) is very pretty.
