Your point?

The area on that side of market is largely undeveloped. The area to the south and a few blocks north is like 98% townhouses.

It's also right next to the El, and frankly that's a terrible place to live due to the noise. Market itself is sketchy around there and west. We should be happy there's a developer dumb enough to think people will pay for luxury apartments out there.

Scranton is an underrated place to visit. Downtown is very walkable and has some nice restaurants and the impressive “Electric City” sign. Steamtown National Historic Site, close to downtown, is a great indoor/outdoor museum dedicated to the the history of trains. Nextdoor to it is the Electric City Trolley Museum, which is also great. The Lackawanna Coal Mine is also nearby and is a fun and interesting place to tour.

From an earlier article about it on same site:

>>Martino noticed there was a huge opportunity in the sports bar industry for a modern luxury experience. Bankroll aims to combine hanging out with friends in a high-end sports bar and betting on your phone.

>>Will there be sports betting kiosks? No

>>Does it have a gaming license? It does not require one. Since it is not a casino or an OTB.

Am I like missing something here ?

I’m heading back to Sleepy Hollow/Tarrytown next weekend it’s about 2-2.5 hours away and has a lot of things to do. Tarrytown has the Jazz Forum has performances from Fridays-Sundays. I’m going to the one next Friday. I’m super excited. A weekend alone.

clocking in at just around a 4 hour drive you can get to some of the Finger Lakes in NY. We had a blast staying on the south end of Seneca Lake. Hiking and wine tastings are the prime activities. If that’s appealing I’d definitely check it out

I would split a bus route in two, make one of the parts have at least 30 minute frequency, and then extend it to a regional rail station.

either that or i would somehow get sidewalks installed along a few side streets

if I had a lot more time, I'd get at least one bridge over train tracks installed too

also trees. a lot of trees. that seems most likely because there's a lack of them here too.
