Downtown Scranton gets iced | Abington Journal

The city will have its first-ever Scranton Ice Festival during the weekend of Friday, Feb. 5, to Sunday, Feb. 7. This free outdoor festival will be an opportunity for the community to safely patronize various local businesses, which will have used their branding or logo to come up with creative and whimsical ice sculptures placed in front of them. These include one of Baby Yoda holding a bowl in front of Peculiar Slurp on Penn Avenue and an angel holding a book in front of Heaven and Earth on Wyoming Avenue.

Electric City Connection project s mission two-fold | Business

Like most restaurants, Abe’s Kosher Delicatessen in Scranton took a hit when it had to shut down its dining room and shift to takeout and deliveries at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Owner Renato Luongo found some help through a collaboration from Scranton Tomorrow, the University of Scranton and Friends of the Poor meant to assist the struggling industry while combating food insecurity. From March through October, the Electric City Connection project raised more than $47,000 — including $20,000 from the Scranton Area Community Foundation — to purchase local restaurant gift cards and meals for people in need. Now, they’re asking for donations again. Food insecurity is growing and restaurants continue to lose revenue while operating under pandemic restrictions, especially after Gov. Tom Wolf halted indoor dining again until Jan. 4.
