"The Office" and Scranton

So I was reading through some of the other posts, and I saw the one about Syracuse and the loss of an architecture school, so it got me thinking about Scranton, my home town, and what was happening there. Since the premier of "The Office," the "coolness" level of my hometown has definitely gone up. I went on to the city's website and read articles about Scranton in the Times and the Washington Post, where I found this one about Scranton and "The Office." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/25/AR2007092501819.html The article talks about what is real in the show and what is not, and how the writers admit that what is real in Scranton is a lot of times more funny than what they could have come up with about it. It also talks about the revitalization that Scranton is going through right now, and the proposed tourist attraction of a tour of Scranton, highlighting "The Office" hotspots. Scranton as a place is changing, revitalizing the outside of its downtown, but also becoming more renowned for its real and fantastical appeal on "The Office."
