Carbondale


Carbondale

Now that I'm on hiatus from the touring life, I have more time to explore locally. There is plenty of countryside to explore, and much of it is practically in my backyard.

Carbondale was settled in the early 19th century, and boasted the world's first million-dollar corporation. Like most other cities in Northeastern PA, it's primary industry was anthracite coal.

The town has a certain lonesome quality that this photograph seems to echo.
