SCRANTON, Pa. — This week's warm weather melted much of the snow, but what did it uncover?
Photojournalist Corey Burns shows us just what we now see in Lackawanna County.
"Ohh, I'm roasting," said Doris Koloski from Scranton. "There's still some piles where it's piled really high. There's some areas where it's kind of puddly because, ya know, it's still melting. Even in front of my house, I still see some empty bottles and some empty papers. I think the main thing that you see like I said, it's throughout the whole section of the city (Scranton) is the people that didn't pick up after their dogs, which really irritates me. There's a lot of dog poop, more of it actually on the streets than up here (Nay Aug Park)."
