Our PA Live! Blog of the Week this week is Scranton & Wilkes-Barre in Entertainment (http://wb-scranton-movies.blogspot.com/.)
Scranton and Wilkes-Barre have a long relationship with entertainment, stretching from the days of Vaudeville and traveling shows where Northeastern Pennsylvania was considered a necessary stop, to modern movies and TV shows where the region is used as a backdrop. The folks at the Reference Department at the Albright Memorial Library in Scranton have set out to catalog all of these references, and have been at it. You probably know that Scranton is the setting for the Woody Harrelson movie "Kingpin" and the American version of the TV series "The Office," but there are dozens - maybe hundreds - of other movies and TV shows that mention Scranton or Wilkes-Barre at least in passing.
This site contains all sorts of references and connections between movie, television, and the Scranton/Wilkes-barre area. More than that, this site also lists folks from the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area who have made it big in the entertainment industry. It's been going strong since July of 2005, and still hasn't run out of ideas! If you'd like to learn more, be sure to check out Scranton & Wilkes-Barre in Entertainment!
