От процветания к запустению и обратно. Как живет бывшая угольная столица США

Scranton, Pennsylvania, was once one of the most important industrial cities in the United States, a major railroad hub for the Erie, Lacovanna, and Western Railway, and the economic and logistical center of a vast coal mining region. Office skyscrapers, luxury hotels, and large department stores were built in the city. Since then, the railroad went bankrupt, coal mining ceased, most businesses closed, and half the city's residents left. What's happening in Scranton today, and how is life in the former coal capital of the United States? As always, a HUGE THANK YOU for your support!
