The next question is when do we get rail to the Lehigh Valley and Allentown? This is an idea that just makes sense.

What I don't understand is why there would be a stop in Scranton, but not anywhere in the LV? Guess it's helpful to have a hometown boy (Casey) as a Senator pushing the project. Can't imagine Sands won't push hard to extend the line with all the promoting they're doing in NYC about the casino and Emeril.

The Scranton to NYC line has been talked about since the early 90's... Lehigh Valley has just recently started thinking about it. We are years off...

Yeah, just what we want, a rail line that goes to NYC via Scranton...

Or decent, hard-working people who do not want to create a fast track for NY vermin.

Oh I get it. The democRAT cretins who ruined New Jersey and New York are now stampeding into the Poconos and Lehigh Valley to escape what THEY created in those states. These very same scum bags are now demanding that the rest of us pay for their rail line into Sodom and Gomorrah. I say let them go back to the hell-hole they came from.

You haterz just don't make any sense. If you want the world to pass the Lehigh Valley by, then feel free to live in the past. Personally, I'm going to enjoy having a relaxing weekend in NYC with some friends with a stress free way to travel to NYC. And my "vermin" friends can visit me too.

Oh and NYC and NJ are ruined, are they? Hmm, millions of well-to-do people might take offense to that. But you keep your head up your bum and see how far that takes you.

The people from PA that like to visit New York to visit museums, Broadway shows, the many live music venues, see a sporting event, shop, etc...

I'm looking forward to this.

The boonies are getting connected with the real world and the Lehigh Valley is being left behind.

Daily Horoscope for January 8

Leo

Why are you still fighting, Leo? Everyone else went home a long time ago, but you're still here pounding your fists on the table. Although you don't want to admit it, accepting defeat may be your most practical option at this point. Sometimes it's just easier to move on than to keep up the fight. When you're forced to restructure, at least you have a chance to redefine. YouÕl get the opportunity to start with a clean slate, so use it to your advantage.
