Where The "Twain" Meet!

  Most people think of the Mason/Dixon Line
as that legendary boundary between the North
and the South during the Civil War.
   I think it may be in Pittston!
   It does separate "North" and "South."
   But, in this case the "North" would be
Scranton and the "South" would be Wilkes-
Barre!
   I noticed it the other day while walking
in Pittston.
   There were two signs on a pole. One above
the other.
    One read: "Colts" route. The other had a
big "L" and the words "bus stop."
    Turns out Pittston is the only city, and I
stress the term "city" that is served by both
the County of Lackawanna Transit System
and the Luzerne County Transportation
Authority!
    So, if you live in Pittston you can board
a COLT's bus to Scranton or an LCTA motor
coach to Wilkes-Barre. That seems to make
Pittston an attractive 'bedroom community"
for both of its larger neighboring cities.
     Of course there is another "population
center" served by both of the bus companies.
And it may be the most popular destination
for both. That, of course, is the Casino at
Mohegan Sun! Buses are coming there
from just about everywhere. North, south,
east, and west of the Mason/Dixon!
    There are no "Ghosts" on the Casino
runs!
    My grand kids call the local transit
vehicles the "town buses."
    It's good to know where I can get one
going my way....which ever town I want
to get to! I'll just have to find a way to get
to Pittston.
    Hope you've got your fare ready and that
all your NEWS is good!
