Anything of interest around Scranton, PA?  In terms of state-named interstate shields left or button copy?  I-84/I-380/I-81 area?

"I get a little tired of being told I'm an insider. I come from Scranton, Pennsylvania. And that's as hard-scrabble a place as you're going to find. I'll show you around sometime and you'll see, it's a hellhole. An absolute jerkwater of a town. You couldn't stand to spend a weekend there." -- Sen. Joe Biden (Jason Sudeikis) on Saturday Night Live

(Full disclosure, generations of my ancestors are from the triangle of land between Scranton, Hazleton and Allentown)

My recollection is that there is a smattering of button copy and state-named shields in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area, but admittedly it's been awhile since I've been there.

If you're willing to drive down to Wilkes-Barre, there's some state named I-81 shields on some of the BGS's on the mainline around exit #165.
