      i just saw nanty glo today! what the hell? i was looking up nanticoke, a town not too far away from where i grew up and i saw nanty glo. i think hop bottom is my fave. this list keeps growing, i keep finding towns of note.

    yeah, i love moosic. there used to be a really fun, supah cruddy amusement park there called rocky glen.
    i saw the hooters there. and weird all yankovic.

    i don't know about the nanti/nanty part, but coke is a biproduct of burning bituminous coal (softer coal than anthracite). it's used as fuel for heating.

      aha. perhaps if I'd been to the anthracite museum I'd have know about the "coke". so naticoke might make sense, but nanty glo...? yay cruddy amusement parks in moosic, what a great place to see weird al!!
