Diners and other good food

Writing  this with one finger, from the passenger seat of my Corolla. That’s the only caveat, mea culpa, pardon me I’m going to offer in advance for typos, etc. I also take no responsibility for auto-correct.

We’re on 81, about 50 Miles from Hazelton. Destination: Scranton. Obviously.

Worried. I’ve got a wedding dress to fit into in less than three months and all I can think about is the Texas wieners chili cheese dog at Coney Island, the Texas wiener cheeseburger omelet at Keystone or the daily special at Chicks. And, of course, I can’t forget the cannoli chips at PNC Park, otherwise known as “that stadium where the Rail Riders play.”

Who doesn’t like diner food?? What I cherish more than home-cooked meals, though, is the atmosphere. Diners evoke that Cheers feeling – a place where everybody knows your name – and the coffee’s always hot!

And nobody does friendly better than Scranton

I'm the proud mother of three daughters - an archaeologist, an art critic, and a college student. They are my biggest accomplishment and my biggest joy. I was born and raised in Michigan and you'll soon learn that you may be able to take the girl out of the Wolverine State but .... you know how it goes. Professionally, I'm an award-winning investigative reporter and editor. I spent more than 20 years in newspapers. While hard news and investigative business reporting were my forte, I also spent a great deal of time in lifestyles. Currently, I'm an assistant editor in charge of documentary material on an academic journal.
