Scranton: The Electric City by Alyssa Amori

Scranton: The Electric City
ALYSSA AMORI
Over 100 full color, high gloss photos depict the city of Scranton, Pennsylvania

Hometown Pride

Photographer ALYSSA AMORI, a resident of Scranton, Pennsylvania illustrates her love for her hometown through her camera lens. Over a six-month period in 2007, Alyssa captured the essence of the city from its historic architecture to its parks and festivals.

Over 100 images include: Roger Clemens' appearance with the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre Yankees, Nay Aug Park, Scranton Cultural Center, Lackawanna County Courthouse, Everhart Museum, Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel, Steamtown National Historic Site, St. Patrick's Day Parade, The Mall at Steamtown and Lake Scranton.

Alyssa's ultimate hope is to get the book into the hands of as many Scranton service men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan as possible. The book is designed to provide the troops with a much welcome glimpse of home. Amori is looking for individuals or groups willing to either provide addresses or donations to finance the printing and mailing of the books to the troops. To offer assistance, please email Alyssa at damori3@comcast.net.

Scranton. What? The Electric City

[Spiderbaby78]

haha you said it!

[Jouninbaka]

Besides, you know that you love our parades, or so many of you wouldn't flock over here to see them.

[Jouninbaka]

Shut up and stop grouping all of us together; not all Scrantonians are "miserable idiots".

[shiningstars109]

i hate scranton! born and raised here! i hope it burns down! ...soon...

[FrankJames11]

Great photography of a dingy city. Thank God I live 20 minutes away.

[allmin]

wow, really good job.... even as just a student at the U of S i felt like ive become a part of this city

[shiningstars109]

Well, as a matter of fact im only 13 so i have a lot of growning up i still have to do. and BTW: i only live outside of Scranton like 10mins. I consider myself a nice person, and yes i agree with you that Scrantonians are some of the most miserable and (disgusting too) people i've ever met.

[NEPADude19]

You would. Scrantonians are some of the most miserable, bitter people I have ever come across just because so few have formal educations and have become petty, nasty, and envious as a result. You can see the difference as soon as you cross the city line. Why do you in Scranton have to always rain on everyone else's parade? Here's a woman doing something great, and you're being a spoiler, just like the idiots that attend the city council meetings and can't form coherent sentences. Grow up!
