Virtual walking tours highlight the influence of Jane Jacobs in Downtown Scranton

As part of Observe Scranton festivities honoring the life and legacy of Jane Jacobs, we're pleased to present Observe Penn Avenue, and Unusual and Valuable Assets: The Death and Rebirth of Scranton, a project of Scranton Tomorrow in partnership with the Lackawanna Historical Society.


Hosted by Wayne Evans, former Mayor of Scranton, viewers will enjoy a guided tour of a revitalized block of the Downtown Scranton Business District in Observe Penn Avenue, and explore the development of the Marketplace at Steamtown (previously the Mall at Steamtown) in Unusual and Valuable Assets: The Death and Rebirth of Scranton.
