Is this what you're talking about? First Friday Scranton

Yes is! Didn't make it this time but we do want to try it next month.
I still would like to hear from those who have participated!

Like I said before the last art walk I did a guy had hung pictures of an Asian girl wrapped in saran wrap in the one store that was part of the art walk for that Friday. Christ even the store owner couldn't wait until the next event so that it could be removed.

A few stores and galleries will have some stuff hanging and you can walk around from place to place, that is it. No crowds and not much that I would go out of my way to see.

You asked and I'm telling you.

As far as what I do and don't like, you have no idea. I don't like the city and what I don't like has nothing to do with exterior appearances. Knock off your crap..

I'm sure what you and I consider art is vastly different. Velvet elvis isn't my thing.
Sounds very wonderful. Are you kidding me? An art walk in Scranton? Never heard about it and don't care about it. It's not Greenwich Village here in the Electric City.

So instead of trying SOMETHING to draw people should the business owners just say, heck with new business, we're just going to close up early as usual so the Scranton bashers can keep complaining that there is nothing to do?

Hope you get to go next time Sheena - looking forward to your review.

Just because you don't think it is art doesn't mean you are right. As a matter of fact, you my dear, are wrong.

Never said I was right, my dear. What I said was that a girl wrapped in saran wrap in a picture was being passed off as art. IMHO I don't see that as art and neither did the business owner that agreed to participate and because of that the business was unlikely to get involved again. That is what they told me.


Listen folks, especially those that are preaching from areas outside of Scranton, if you want to come down to a Friday artwalk then by all means come down and walk around.

Like NYRangers said this is not the village, nor is the fashion district, its Scranton, nothing more, nothing less....Don't expect much or anything for that matter and you won't be disappointed.

I really miss Pete Bordies and the 70's era Lackawanna Ave.
Talk about a lively nightlife!!

10cent drafts and quarter shots sure brought out the artistic quality of the patrons.

p.s. - I think I saw a girl wrapped in saran wrap one night as I made my way down to the "dancin bar" across the street from the Casey Hotel. LOL

Exactly. We live here and have a right to say what we want about the city. We don't bash WB, Pittston or Old Forge. If you want to come here and waste your time with an art walk, be our guests. Scranton isn't exactly a place for fine arts or the like.
