A few of you let me know about 60 Minutes story on city of Hazleton’s illegal immigrant law. I spent two years at Penn State Hazleton ( though I lived in the borough of West Hazleton) hence the interest.
Here is the transcript. There also also three videos available:
Hazelton’s Immigration Battle
Kroft On Pa. Mayor’s Action
freeSpeech: Lou Barletta
In the report you got to see a few landmarks like Hazleton General Hospital (I went their for a collapsed lung once) and the Blue Vomit Comet Diner, one of two places I had ever seen RC Cola served on fountain. There were quetsions I would have like have answered though:
What do people at my favorite Hazleton diner, the Snotty Knotty Pine think about the situation?
What about the teenagers in The Lot? (For the uninitiated, a Blockbuster parking lot where locals sat in their Camaros talking on CBs).
Did 97.9 The Mountain/The Bear/98 Rock have to change to salsa music?
What about Senapes, do immigrants like pitza?
Will the controversy be enough to make Grovich take “There’s Something About Hazleton” out of mothballs?
Most importantly, what does the mafia think?
