North American Van Lines: The Best of Scranton Moving Companies
Located in the northeastern corner of Pennsylvania, Scranton is a delightful little city with a population of about 76,000 and a humble past. It was once a modest community but grew quickly into a booming center for industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when it came to be known as a hub for railroads and coal mining. It became a vital influence in the growth of the region. But it went through many ups and downs, and after a sudden economic decline in the 1900s, it has more recently begun to thrive as a metropolis. Today, property values are steadily increasing, companies are investing in land and employers are setting up shop throughout the city. Scranton’s high quality and low cost of living makes it a hot spot for people looking to settle in the northeastern U.S. (And it doesn’t hurt that the location is the setting of the hugely popular American version of the television show “The Office.”)
Attractions and activities in Scranton
Those who live in Scranton usually get around to their favorite places by car. However, cycling is growing in popularity, and the city even hosts its own Critical Mass gathering on the last Friday of each month outside of the city courthouse at 6 p.m. But you don’t have to be a bike enthusiast to enjoy life in Scranton. History buffs will particularly like this location thanks to the plethora of heritage sites, such as the early 20th century architecture lining Central City, the renowned Steamtown National Historic Site, Electric City Trolley Museum and The Houdini Museum. Another hot spot is the Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple, which was originally erected as a cathedral but has since become a lively center for live performances, from music to theater. The venue can also be rented out for conferences, weddings and other events.
Moving to Scranton
Start shopping Scranton moving companies and prepare to make this charming Pennsylvania city your new home. By car is the best way to access the metropolis - take Interstate 84, 380, 476 or 81 depending on the direction you’re coming from. If you choose to fly in, schedule a flight to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport, which is about 20 minutes away by taxi. If you select this option, take advantage of North American Van Lines’ vehicle transportation option to have your automobile delivered to your destination. northAmerican also offers a variety of other moving options, from full-service packing to after-move clean-up.
