SUMMARY
=======
Scranton is the sixth-largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It is the county seat of Lackawanna County in Northeastern Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley and hosts a federal court building. With a population of 77,291, it is the largest city in the Scranton–Wilkes-Barre–Hazleton, PA Metropolitan Statistical Area, which has a population of about 570,000.Scranton is the geographic and cultural center of the Lackawanna River valley, and the largest of the former anthracite coal mining communities in a contiguous quilt-work that also includes Wilkes-Barre, Nanticoke, Pittston, and Carbondale. Scranton was incorporated on February 14, 1856, as a borough in Luzerne County and as a city on April 23, 1866. It became a major industrial city, a center of mining and railroads, and attracted thousands of new immigrants. It was the site of the Scranton General Strike in 1877.
People in northern Luzerne County sought a new county in 1839 but the Wilkes-Barre area resisted losing its assets. Lackawanna County did not gain independent status until 1878. Under legislation allowing the issue to be voted by residents of the proposed territory, voters favored the new county by a proportion of 6 to 1, with Scranton residents providing the major support. The city was designated as the county seat when Lackawanna County was established in 1878, and a judicial district was authorized in 1879.
The city took its first step toward earning its reputation as the Electric City when electric lights were introduced in 1880 at Dickson Locomotive Works. Six years later, the nation's first streetcars powered exclusively by electricity began operating in the city. Rev. David Spencer, a local Baptist minister, later proclaimed Scranton as the Electric City.

WVIA OUR TOWN DANVILLE
What is the Our Town project and how did it begin?
In the fall of 2009, WVIA began looking for a programming idea that would more directly involve the 22-counties comprising its coverage area in northeastern Pennsylvania and the Central Susquehanna Valley. The idea we discovered was Our Town, based upon a television series created by WPSU, our public television sister station in State College.
Our Town adapts to television the day-in-the-life picture books that profile the people, places and happenings within a specific community or locale. But instead of representing these stories through still photographs, the program employs the medium of video—as shot by residents of the town or locale that is being profiled. And instead of printed captions providing narrative context, the residents who shoot the footage also serve as the programs narrators.
A town's people know what makes their town tick. They know what makes it special. They experience their town as a home, at all times of the day, and all days of the year. With this in mind, WVIA is seeking residents within the communities selected for presentation to participate in determining the content of their Our Town program. Through their camera lenses, a perspective of their towns character and culture is envisioned for the viewer.
Beginning in the town of Danville, WVIA turns over to its residents the role of program producers—all of them volunteering their time and talent. We are asking these collaborators to showcase their town in ways they best see fit. With the freedom of a blank tape in their own camcorder, a WVIA hat, and a lot of enthusiasm, they then go on their way. Exploring the streets, ducking into cafés, or listening to the high school band, viewers are treated to the many personalities, perspectives, and possibilities their town offers. Attending weddings and anniversary celebrations, their town's stories and secrets are unlocked before the viewer's eyes.
In capturing the experience of community life from the vantage point of the people most invested in their community, WVIA intends Our Town to involve the public more intimately in the stations programming. The series aspires to inspire in viewers a sense of pride and of its place in the constellation of communities that reflect the quality of life in northeastern Pennsylvania and the Central Susquehanna Valley. Undoubtedly, such collaboration will produce many new friendships for the station, and further empower its mission mantra, Your Vision. Your Voice.

SUMMARY
=======
Appalachia () is a cultural region in the Eastern United States that stretches from the Southern Tier of New York to northern Alabama and Georgia. While the Appalachian Mountains stretch from Belle Isle in Canada to Cheaha Mountain in Alabama, the cultural region of Appalachia typically refers only to the central and southern portions of the range, from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, southwesterly to the Great Smoky Mountains. As of the 2010 United States Census, the region was home to approximately 25 million people.Since its recognition as a distinctive region in the late 19th century, Appalachia has been a source of enduring myths and distortions regarding the isolation, temperament, and behavior of its inhabitants. Early 20th century writers often engaged in yellow journalism focused on sensationalistic aspects of the region's culture, such as moonshining and clan feuding, and often portrayed the region's inhabitants as uneducated and prone to impulsive acts of violence. Sociological studies in the 1960s and 1970s helped to re-examine and dispel these stereotypes.While endowed with abundant natural resources, Appalachia has long struggled and been associated with poverty. In the early 20th century, large-scale logging and coal mining firms brought wage-paying jobs and modern amenities to Appalachia, but by the 1960s the region had failed to capitalize on any long-term benefits from these two industries. Beginning in the 1930s, the federal government sought to alleviate poverty in the Appalachian region with a series of New Deal initiatives, such as the construction of dams to provide cheap electricity and the implementation of better farming practices. On March 9, 1965, the Appalachian Regional Commission was created to further alleviate poverty in the region, mainly by diversifying the region's economy and helping to provide better health care and educational opportunities to the region's inhabitants. By 1990, Appalachia had largely joined the economic mainstream, but still lagged behind the rest of the nation in most economic indicators.
NE CURRENT First Friday Scranton:Winner's Circle Children's Fundraiser
Broadcasting from First Friday Scranton on Independence Day weekend! Host Bernie Maopolski takes a walk around the streets of downtown Scranton to talk to the community leaders, community members, vendors and maybe a superhero or 2! We had a blast talking to everyone and seeing all that First Friday had to offer. We saw some great musicians include Lily playing guitar and singing outside of AFA gallery, we saw the Pop Up Market Place with their really unique vintage items, great artwork, and some fundraisers. In your travels, did you happen to see the sidewalks covered with the words “LOOK UP” in chalk? One of the major events we wanted to help promote is the Look Up campaign which encourages us to step outside and LOOK UP! and enjoy the art in our beautiful and often unique architecture in our downtown buildings. Architecture tells the story of Scranton’s heyday! A story and heritage that has fed the city’s revitalization. Today, Scranton is experiencing a renaissance in the footprint of its former glory. Former coal company offices are now departments at Universities, a grand railroad station is a magnificent hotel, and commercial and office buildings are now modern and luxury apartments.
World renowned architects designed some of the most beautiful and unique buildings in our downtown using the talent of old-world craftsmanship that has stood the test of time.
It really was a magicial Scrantastic night as we walked around the courthouse as they were getting ready for the Philharmonic performance and the fireworks! firstfridayscranton.com
You might remember our previous interview with remarkable 10 year-old racecar driver Michael Samony from Old Forge. Well we have him back on the show to tell us about some of his races and he shows us his slingshot car! He’s so proud of it!. We talk about the upcoming race at Pocono Raceway. We are back at the Winner’s Circle bar and restaurant in Taylor, PA. The memorabilia in this place has to be seen to be believed! Lots of gear from Daytona including a jacket from Rusty Wallace and a signed helmet from Dale Jr. with the microphone still attached. I hear many fans come to kiss it. In addition to the great atmosphere this bar has a great new patio and great food. It’s a truly unique place. Michael had organized a fundraiser there on the day of the interview and some of the money raised will be donated to the Janet Weis Children’s Hospital in Danville. Music, food and lots of surprises and he was so happy to help raise money for the children’s organization.
Bernie Maopolski & Kate Moss are your hosts for today’s show.
