From the Steamtown Mall to the Electric City sign to the Penn Paper building, my visit to Scranton, Pennsylvania wouldn't have been complete without checking out a few of the locations made iconic by the hit NBC show 'The Office'.
If you're looking to see these locations for yourself you'll find them all in downtown Scranton. The Penn Paper building is on the corner of Penn Avenue and Vine Street. The Scranton welcome sign is on display inside the Marketplace at Steamtown Mall. The Electric City sign is visible from the Lackawanna County Courthouse Square.
Earlier this year I found myself in Cleveland, Ohio. While there were a number of (arguably) more obvious things to capture here, a long standing love of this movie meant I had to see the house from the 1983 holiday classic, A Christmas Story in person.
With the iconic leg lamp in the front window and the Bumpus House next door, the house from A Christmas Story has since been transformed into a year round museum dedicated to the movie. Complete with a tour and a gift shop across the street, you can even pay to spend the night in the Bumpus House (and thankfully, unlike in the movie, you can avoid the dogs).
Naturally, there is some trickery going on here. During production the house was used for exteriors, but as is often the case, was not actually where the interior scenes were filmed. A Christmas Story is also set in Indiana, but was filmed in Cleveland and Toronto.
Regardless, the house has been beautifully restored and turned into a really unique Christmas landmark. For fans of this classic or movie locations in general, the house from A Christmas Story is definitely worth a look the next time you're in Cleveland, Ohio.

Historic houses, graveyards, the odd witch museum, and classic New England street scenes make a visit to Salem, Massachusetts everything you'd want it to be. Made famous by the Salem Witch Trials in 1692 and 1693, more than 200 people were accused of witchcraft here.
