Cooper's On The Waterfront

This is also a seafood restaurant owned by the same people as in my previous posting.

This location is at 304 Kennedy Blvd. In Pittston, Pa.

As with the Scranton Cooper's this location also has excellent food and a great atmosphere. This location has a model train that runs continously throughout the place which adds a unique touch.

This location also doesn't take reservations, it's first come first serve. Don't forget to visit on your birthday for a free dinner with the purchase of an additional entree. This location features a cozy pub, The Forest Riverview Room, and the Cabana.

Either one of these restaurants are great places to dine at so they are worth the drive to enjoy. For further information at this location call 570-654-6883.

As you can see in the second photo here this is a very unique restaurant. This is a great place for seafood in Scranton and worth the trip to enjoy.

Reservations are not accepted here, it's first come first serve and it is very popular so expect a bit of a wait. Usually the wait isn't very long though.

This place has been mentioned several times on NBC's hit show, "The Office". Cooper's is consistantly rated in the top 100 independently owned restaurants in the U.S. and voted Restaurant of the year by the Pennsylvania Restaurant Association.

On your birthday you can get a free dinner with the purchase of an additional entree.

It is located @ 701 N. Washington Ave. in Scranton and the phone number is 570-346-6883.

If you visit this restaurant you will not be disappointed because the food is very good and the atmosphere is great.

They also offer catering for any occasion @ 570-346-7049.

As with most restaurants they have gift certificates and they sell other things such as Sweatshirts with the restaurant name on them.

Autumn In N.E. Pennsylvania

Autumn is a very popular time of the year in Pennsylvania for obvious reasons. Here in the Northeast part of this state it is the peak time for all the colors seen in these photos. If you go further south of here the peak season won't be for a couple more weeks so if you can't come here for a couple more weeks you will still have plenty of colors to see but not much longer than that. In my opinion it is well worth the trip to see the fall foliage. Living here I have taken for granted how cool the trees look until I went to take these photos. As with anything in nature, no two areas are the same so no matter where you go to see the foliage it will be different at each location.

Inclined Plane

This is pretty far from Northeastern Pennsylvania but I did mention that I would include things and places outside of Northeastern Pa.

This is the worlds steepest Inclined Plane with a grade of 70.9%.
It transports cars and passengers to an elevation of 1693 feet.

It is located in Johnstown, Pa. which is in Western Pennsylvania. If you plan on visiting this area of Pennsylvania it is worth stopping to see because of the amazing view seen in these photos There is a observation platform, a visitors center, gift shop, and the City View Bar & Grill.

For operating hours and other information about this location call: 1-814-536-1816. For other sites in Johnstown you can contact the Johnstown & Cambria County Convention & Visitors Bureau at: 1-800-237-8590 or 1-814-536-7993.

Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

These waterfalls are located on route 209 not far from Bushkill Falls but unlike Bushkill Falls these areas are free to explore. These locations are also very popular and there are several other waterfall locations along route 209. There are no restuarants or stores at these locations but they are fairly close to restuarants and stores. There are campgrounds and hotels nearby also.

Although the scenery is beautiful in these photos it is nothing compared to being there in person so it is worth the trip to check them out.

Bushkill Falls

This is called the "Niagara Falls of Pennsylvania". There are 8 waterfalls here and the highest of these falls is the Main Falls which is 100 feet high. As you can see from the photos here there are walkways throughout this place which makes it a lot easier to navigate around the different falls. There are a couple of areas where you can hike natural trails if you are into hiking the natural way.

This really is an amazing place to see for all the scenery it has to offer. The man-made walkways seen here are pretty amazing also. They are traversing the creek below or are mounted on the sides of the many cliff walls.

Besides the waterfalls there is the Pennsylvania Wildlife Exhibit, Native American Exhibit. You can fish Twin Lakes, take a Paddle boat ride, or play a round of miniature golf and there is a playground area for the kids. You can visit a variety of gift shops and of course, souvenir shops.

There is a snack bar for beverages, pizza or burgers. There is also ice cream available and the Fudge Kitchen located in the Wagon Wheel Pavilion. If you prefer you can bring your own food. They have plenty of picnic areas with charcoal grills, picnic tables and covered pavilions with picnic tables.

This place is located just off of route 209 on Bushkill Falls Road in Bushkill, Pennsylvania. For directions or other information call 570-588-6682
There is a fee to enter the falls area which in my opinion is well worth the cost. The whole family will enjoy this place. This is a very popular place and if you visit this location you will find out why it is so popular

Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs

Mohegan sun was the first Casino to open in Pennsylvania and I didn't post it on my site until now because the photos here were not part of the original casino. Originally the casino was operated from the old Pocono Downs Harness Racing building. There are still gaming machines in that building but the majority are now in the new building shown here.

This Casino is located at 1280 Highway 315 in Wilkes Barre, Pa.

This Casino features 2500 Gaming Machines, 32 Table and Poker Games, and several retuarants and bars, and they still have Harness Racing. There is also a hotel on the property, The Shops at Mohegan Sun which has 130,000 square foot retail area, 20,000 square foot world class spa, and a 10,000 square foot indoor pool.

Unfortunatley you are not allowed to take photos of the inside of the Casino so that is why there are none shown here.

For general information needed you can contact the Casino at 570-831-2100.

This is really a unique Casino and I think anyone visiting the area, or are from the area will want to stop and check this place out.
