yawwwwwwwwn.
What about the books at the Hoyt Library? It's been almost a freakin year and no update?
Duh
New Orleans Jazz biographies? Is he writing about Pete Maravich?
wow, that bio and he is covering Scrantoon city hall?
2:53 took the words out of my mouth. Anyone know why he's in Scranton? He seems so accomplished.
Simple, he loves it here. You can write books anywhere. In Scranton he lives in a nice neighborhood, his kids can grow up in a nice place, and he won't blow the book money on living here. He's a great guy. One of the nicest you'll ever meet.
Love ya Stacy!You are a sweetheart!
You are a genuine person, God Bless You!
Isn't he good buddies with Michael Jackson? I remember reading something about that somewhere. Makes sense why he would write a book about him.
NEPA eats their young!
Soooooo JEALOUS,Soooooooo PETTY.
It's embarrassing.
I am glad someone like Stacy Brown chooses to live in this toilet bowl of an area.
Maybe he is doing research for his next book.
He's a great person, one of the nicest, most admirable guys I've ever known.
I can't see TS paying him a high salary when the company's MO is employee rookie reporters and show them da door in three years.
Agreed! I want to have his babies.
Oh. Wait. He already has babies.
Never mind.
He's here because he wants to be. End of story. He is the nicest and most genuine person you will ever meet. He is a role model for all humans. Carbondale may have the Wiz but Scranton has Stacy Brown.
If this guy's bio is true, why is he in Scranton? I know you guys, and gals, in the Electric City think the place is tops, but really...After all, Scranton is just a step below Hazleton.
I love the Wiz.
Stacy: Nice guy. Real nice guy.
Great journalist? You decide. That "best journalist in NEPA" vote was whack, for sure. I think Stacy's gotten awful lot of mileage out of his contacts with the Jacksons, and I doubt that's come about because of tough, aggressive coverage. I'm just an editor, not a hater.
I certainly agree with the "editor" about best journalist in NEPA. I am certainly not worthy of that as my belief is there are at least 2 reporters in my office who are far more deserving. However, this thing about the Jacksons is absolutely ridiculous. I've worked for newspapers who, except for the Times-Tribune, had no idea about my relationship with the Jacksons. Besides, when did being associated with them help a news career? Anyway, it's good to know that being a good person accounts for something around here.
We had him in the studio one morning. He has some great stories. Very engaging, good guy. I get the feeling there's going to be a big book from him somewhere along the way. He's here because he likes it here, said so.
Classy comment, typical of Stacy. Again, a real good guy. And yeah, that counts for a lot, in or out of NEPA.
We love you Stacy!
Hi Stacy,
Good to see good things happening for you. Looking foward to the jazz series of books.Continue to shine in P.A. Miss you in N.Y.
jo+
for a guy who really is a features reporter and thrown into hard news coverage, he's done a really good job. I'll bet he would win a lot of awards as a features guy. talk to him and he'll probably tell you the same, but then again, he's so humble he probably wouldn't want to say anything against the hierarchy.
Stacy: Welcome to the toilet bowl of nepa - Scranton. Nice career move.
Btw, watch out for those backstabbers Murphy and Banana Boat Beaupre.
