Festival digs mining heritage

So, how many pierogies can the average hungry person eat in one sitting?

Feast your eyes on some local festivals

If the polkas and pierogies of this weekend’s Coal Miners’ Heritage Days in Nanticoke whet your appetite, you can fill your calendar through summer’s end with celebrations of everything from history to railroads to the glorious and tasty Pittston Tomato.

REVIEW: 'Pineapple Express'

Veering wildly between red-eyed stoner humor and blood-red violence, “Pineapple Express” is an uneven but entertaining action-comedy that answers a question you’ve probably never asked: What if someone gave Cheech and Chong a shot of testosterone and a couple of Uzis?

REVIEW: 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2'

If you’ve shopped at corporate retail lately, you may have noticed that little of the clothing actually looks new. Faded T-shirts, frayed trousers, “destroyed” jeans — everything appears weathered and well-worn. That’s appealing to those younger than, say, 20: They haven’t lived long enough to make anything look lived-in.
