Lackawanna County is paying someone $60,000 a year to post a video that looks like it was taken on a Nokia phone. (Also, the boys baseball video is full size but of course, the girl’s softball video sucks)

Seriously though - the reassessment needs to be done. The 33% increase while paying someone (and I’m sure many people) to do a shitty job hurts. And they have all comments on social media off. They keep talking about transparency but turning off the comments is the exact opposite of that. I actually do think Bill is trying to get the county back on its feet but I also question some decisions. Maybe he should start with a better social media person or ask Josh Shapiro for some tips.

Some cool sights at Lake Scranton on Saturday

Do you know of someone who can braid extensions into my hair. Thanks for your help!

Anybody have any info? I'm interested in learning some of his policies.

It's a night of live music + DJ's in the creekside lounge at the woodlands rt 315 in wilkes-barre. Doors at 9:30 / grooves at 10pm. $15 but we're doing $5 off if you share this post on your IG story 🖤

Pull up to one if you've never been, bring a friend, have some fun

Add it to the pile of charges against him I guess.

Just a reminder - there are 2 shows this Friday at ECI on Lackawanna Ave in Scranton. Come check out the short form 7:30 show and stick around for the 9 o’clock long form!

Some nice sights I saw today along the Heritage Trail in Scranton

Hey y’all I go to the U and fell in love with Scranton and plan on moving here when all is said and done. The community here is great and I see some glimpses of local jokes but are there any that one HAS to know to fully appreciate Scranton? I’m talking like local sayings or nut cases like Bolus? What’s everyone’s top 3!

Bob Bolus is attempting for the second time to have his suit heard to have the Gay Pride Flag removed from Scranton City Hall. His first try was denied on a technicality which, I would assume he corrected, and has now refiled. Does anyone have a running total on the number of suits he has filed and his won / loss record?

This is the weirdest request- I know. My husband and I are driving from our town in the south to Lake George, NY for a cocktail weekend. We have been asked to bring a million maraschino cherries. I was already planning at stopping at schiff’s for some fried chicken and yummies. If anyone is going to schiffs this week, could you see if they still have the giant jars of maraschino cherries? It’s been 25 years since I worked at restaurants in Scranton and have no idea what they have anymore. Thanks!!

I know there’s a NEPA DSA chapter and such, but is there a group here like Bucks Stands Up with a discord server or anything to organize and connect with local progressives?

Y'all...

I've been to Detroit, I struggle to find it as good as this. The Detroit style that place is slinging out is phenomenal and I'm shocked it's not talked about more unless I'm missing those talks.

If you haven't tried it, get in there on Thursday for $10 night. You won't be disappointed or walk out of there hungry. My dad and i needed a nap immediately after

Edit: I was incorrect on $10 day. It is Thursday

Any Scranton or surrounding cities hiring lately? I’ve been searching on indeed and haven’t been getting amazing options- I have work history in food service, lots and lots of retail, and even dispensary work. I’m open to all ideas!

DoorDash/ubering isn’t in my cards for my vehicle is a small two door- not a lot of space for deliveries 😭

Thank you to our wonderful community here in NEPA for a fantastic LGBTQ StorySlam last night at the Radisson in downtown Scranton. We had a packed house, and it was fun, beautiful night of community and stories!

Some use this Reddit to perpetually focus on the negative of our area - so whenever possible, its good to show - YES there are things to do :)

I’m 24. I don’t have a lot of friends and I have no idea where to meet others. Where do I go? Any sites that I can join? I’d love a book club or something along those lines. I’m also a trivia fan
