No matter how long you live here in Scranton, it`s a place that climbs into your heart, and it never really leaves you and that`s the God`s truth. It`s like that old saying goes, you can take the boy out of Scranton, but you can`t take Scranton out of the boy. There`s some special about it. The truth is, Scranton isn`t my home because of the memories you gave me. It`s my home because of the values you gave me.
