Nay Aug Park: Watres Addition


A view looking west, back towards the Erie tracks, and I-81. Unfortunately this section of the park is cut off from the main area by an interstate highway.

Nay Aug Park: Watres Addition


Last Sunday we took a side trip through the Watres Addition of Nay Aug Park. This is looking up, what is probably the only well defined path in this section, towards Elmhurst Boulevard. This is just east of the Erie tracks.

South Scranton

One of the areas we've been exploring. One of the things we've been searching for is the Maple Street Station along the Laurel Line tracks. We can't tell is the area where the station was is covered by I-81, or if a portion of it remains. This map is from 1918.

Scranton: Lackawanna Avenue


A view of the ongoing building renovation along the 500 block of Lackawanna Avenue. Note the AFA Gallery, the real one is quite different then the one shown on NBC's show, "The Office."
