Scranton, Pennsylvania is known as The Electric City due to its early adoption of electric lighting in 1881. The sign is located atop the Scranton Electric Building in downtown Scranton. We spent our second night out at the Radisson Hotel, located in the former Lackawanna Railway Passenger Station. I have photos of that too, which will come later. 😉
Moving right along. Wow, 140 years ago. Many of us think we always had electric lighting.
True, Monte. And now as we move up the coast we are seeing lighthouses that once burned whale oil. We’ve come a long way!
