    So today I’m in a Starbucks near Scranton. And lemme tell you, this is middle America. It is very strange to order the same coffee here, but I’m sure it doesn’t taste the same. And there is country music playing on the speakers.

    Is it ok if I’m writing all this, and reading this thread, and maybe the locals are gonna see?

    Say, I’m just thinking, why don’t all the OOT girls come here and date these guys? That one still has a tooth.

    If Middle America can be found already by Scranton, that would make the middle quite large and the sides very narrow. Why can’t Middle America be more in the middle?

    Isn’t there a yeshiva in Scranton? FYI, You’re in the Appalachians. Middle, middle America is 1000 miles or so from you.

    There is a yeshiva in Scranton.

    Middle America refers to: “The American heartland thought of as being made up of small towns, small cities, and suburbs.”

    Drive through? It’s a drive in! You park in rows in the field, tune your radio to the starbucks channel, and sit on the hood of your car.

    Will you tell us how to go from Long Island to Scranton without tolls sometime? Its easy, but not worth the 1$ savings.

    I presume you are referring to the Del. Water Gap toll? You can avoid it by taking I-84. Not much longer, and if you are coming from Monsey probably much quicker.

    Coming from Monsey you pay a toll to get to 84

    But you got the right idea. If you drive up through the Bronx and take the Saw Mill up you can connect with 84 toll free.

    Take the pallisades to route 6.

    Besides, it serves you right for coming from monsey. You should come from a civilized place like Massachusetts.
