Scranton's First Fast Food I could not find out the exact year, but this was the first real fast food business in Scranton as we know them today. There were plenty of local places well know for a fast and good meal. The Stop n Go was the first to bring the assembly line process to the area. It was located on the northeast corner of Lackawanna Avenue and Adams Avenue. This photo was taken from the walkway along the tracks at the Erie/Lackawanna railroad station where they loaded and unloaded freight. It was taken by a second cousin of mine, Robert K. Armbrust. He was able to get into that position because his father, Chester Armbrust worked there. Robert lived in a rural area of Ohio at the time and had never been to a place like this. He was in town visiting the family and my uncle, Edward S. Miller Bean took him and I to the Stop n Go. The black Buick (possibly Oldsmobile) pulling out of the parking lot was my uncle and me. Robert wanted a picture of the place to take back home with him. The photo and story behind it was emailed to me shortly after Robert died by a friend of his in Ohio who ended up with a lot of possessions, and to this day I have no recollection of it at all. So I must have been very young.
