HIT THE ROAD JACK!

     IT THE ROAD JACK!

  It's time you start thinking about
packing your bags and hitting the
road! May 7th., is National
Tourism Day!
   My wife and I are tour hosts
for Travelworld in Scranton and
Kingston and we've had the
opportunity of touring some
fantastic places both in and out
of the country. It's a great agency!
You should check out the available
trips. Who knows? You may wind
up on one we're hosting!
     There are great attractions to
be seen and there's even a few
right in our own back yard.
      I've often heard it said that a
lot of New York City residents
have never been to the Empire
State Building.
       That has me wondering how
many folks around these parts
have never seen the Steamtown
National Historical Park (which,
by the way, is free these days), or
the Electric City Trolley Museum,
or Lackawanna Coal Mine?
       Our area's mining industry
is on display at attractions like
those are others such as the Eckley
Miner's Village not far from Hazleton.
        We've even got sites that should
be attractions but are not. At least
not official ones.
        The community of Centralia
in Columbia County has become a
"Ghost town" since an underground
mine fire forced all but just a handful
of residents out. Most of the homes
were demolished but you can  still
see the streets where they once stood
as well as smoke that's seeping out
of the ground here and there.
        Do yourself a very big favor!
Whether it's an international tour,
a visit to our national treasures, or
just a day's drive through northeastern
Pennsylvania, hit the road and become
a tourist! You'll never regret it!
       Hope you enjoy yourself and
that all your NEWS is good!
