That sounds cool Dan. Did you stock the river for this or just looking for native fish? Trout hold over down there?

It's events like these that make me so eager to move into the city. Fishing is a great father/child (or even mother/child) bonding experience. Block parties, fishing derbies, volunteer park clean-ups, charity piggie sales, etc. are all what keeps a city vibrant and strong. Regardless of how much Mayor Doherty screws things up financially, the city is resilient and will survive through the co-operation of its close-knit neighborhoods.

Do people who have the mental stability of children, like Councilwoman Fannucci, count?

Please pardon my ignorance, but who exactly is Manny Gordon? He's a few years before my time. I myself always say "Enjoy, enjoy" to my friends when we're on outings, and I've seen this nice older man doing some promotions from time to time on WNEP for commercials, but what did he do? Was he a veteran? Politician? Character on Hatchy Milatchy? Scranton City Councilman? Local polka performer?
