There is an interesting story behind these locations, one that almost ended my then short life.We, my family, my father, my mother and my older brother were visiting our relatives in Scranton, Pa. On this occasion we were visiting with my mom's High School friend located on Pittston Ave., which had a trolley line on it. A bunch of us kids were in front of the house sitting on the curb tossing rocks and pebbles into the street. I took a notion to put a pebble on the trolley tracks. My brother said I would be in trouble, as a trolley was coming and the pebble would cause the trolley to tip over. Not wanting to get in trouble, I ran out and retrieved the pebble and on the return sprint I was just barely nudged by a car as it screeched to a halt. I was knocked unconscious, but otherwise pronounced okay. So I have first hand knowledge about trolley tracks on Pittston Ave. in Scranton Pa. Thanks for asking. |
