The Irishman

On Wikipedia it says the Bufalino crime family territory was Scranton, Wilkes Barres, and Pittston.

My dad is Irish and born and raised in Scranton. That part of Pennsylvania is a really unique place based on stories he’s told me and my very few experiences there. Very strange people/culture

I have in-laws right outside Scranton, in Dunmore.

SUPER nice people, but strange is a good way to put it.

The only things I know about Scranton are they have the best Dunder-Mifflin branch and it’s where Roy Munson decided to settle down after he lost his hand, after winning the 1978 Odor Eaters bowling title.


And these things aren’t even real.

Very nice people. Just a different world over there.

Just this Christmas, my Dad told me that everyone from Scranton calls Green Peppers, Mangos. (“Well what the freak did you call a Mango?” “We didn’t have those”)

He also told me about Halloween in Scranton. Apparently you could go for 2 nights- Halloween and the night before, you say “Do you want any Halloweeners” instead of Trick or Treat, you have to then go in to the strangers house and then recite a Halloween poem or song. And then they give you freaking change instead of candy.

I couldn’t help think the entire time that my Dad was just trolling me, but it fits in with everything else he’s told me about Scranton.

Poor Richards is a real place

The stuff with Dwights beet farm and his weird ancestral family is now making much more sense to me as I think about it
