Yes, true. It's almost like flying over the city from that vantage point. The PA Turnpike is like 1,000 feet above the valley floor as it winds past Scranton.

How old is this engraving? Is it supposed to be NYC i guess?

I am not sure about the actual age of that engraving, but the building is about 100 years old.
The city appears to be NYC, but in a vague Gotham-esque sort of way.

Glad you liked the pics.

Some wonderful buildings in Scranton. I love the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel. Was Ex-Ithacan doing a Billy Idol impression?

I could say it was an Idol impression, but actually Pride got it right; mini-stroke.
