I’m the Wandering Spectator - traveling around the country in search of America’s best sites, sounds, and smells at stadiums, ballparks, and arenas in big cities and small towns.

During Covid, my travels and sporting events were eliminated. Since then, I’ve written several stories that date back to the early 1900s covering the early mafia days, then known as the Black Hand to even more recent events that included the more commonly known mafia.

So, if you’re interested in Northeastern PA or True Crime, follow along for great stories from our area. Some tragic and some insightful. Enjoy!

When you have a long enough parade, because of the speed of sound, nobody can synchronize. So half of the people are asked to stop playing their instruments.
