I was born and raised in Carbondale pa. home of the first mine and stourbridge lion train from Carbondale to Honesdale.
Remember the big mine cave ins the late forty's and mine fires. never had to worry about locking your doors , the area was hardworking miners railroad workers, honest and helpful their was no place better to live and raise your family that was then.
Today we have a mix of different people from the cities, girls having baby's and getting all kinds of welfare, drugs, crime you name it what a shame to go back home and see this.
