Found: wrist watches on a bench near Steamtown

Last Thursday at about 7:45 p.m., I found two wrist watches on a bench outside the Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton. The leather straps were scuffed and the faces showed weathering from daily wear, like someone had hurried to a bus and left them behind. I could imagine the owner circling the area, checking pockets and bags, hoping they were still nearby. I hope whoever lost these sees this and knows someone cared enough to post them here.

Found: Equipment for Various Sports in Scranton

On Tuesday at 6:45 pm, I found a sports gear bag near the main entrance to the Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton. Inside was Equipment for Various Sports—a basketball, a tennis racket, a pair of sneakers, and a water bottle with a faded team logo. I stood there a moment thinking about the person who lost it and how panicked they must be, especially after a long day of practice. I brought the bag to the security desk so it would stay safe, and I’m hoping the owner sees this and claims it through the site. It feels oddly hopeful to know someone might get it back.

Two saxophones missing after rehearsal near Steamtown.

Last Saturday, I was packing up after a late rehearsal near Steamtown in downtown Scranton around 9:15 p.m. I realized two saxophones weren't in their cases and I sprinted back through the dim storefronts toward the parking lot behind Steamtown. I retraced my steps, but they weren't there, and the chilly air and blinking streetlights reminded me how much I rely on them. One is a silver alto with a small dent near the bell, the other a tenor with a unique engraving, and losing them feels like losing part of my sound and my story. I'm anxious about my gigs next week and hopeful they’ll surface soon.

Lost Avians near Steamtown, Scranton

I am the owner of two pet birds I affectionately call my Avians. They slipped from their cage Friday around 6:15 PM near Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton while I was tidying up after visitors. They’re small, bright green with tiny yellow patches and love to chatter when the light hits the cage. I’m desperate to have them back and keep replaying every corner of the Steamtown area in my head, hoping they’re somewhere safe and fed.

Found postcards near Steamtown, Scranton

While I was walking along Market Street around 2:45 PM on Sunday, I found a small stack of Postcards tucked under a bench near the Steamtown entrance. The cards span decades, with images of Lackawanna Railroad yards, a snow-covered Nay Aug Park, and a few handwritten notes in cursive. It seems someone collected memories here, and I can imagine these being treasured by a neighbor or a grandparent. I’m keeping them on hand here for the owner to claim through the site, hoping to reunite them with their stories.

Found Passports near Steamtown, Scranton

I found Passports on the sidewalk outside Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton around 4:45 p.m. today, while I was walking back from a coffee shop on Market Street. The blue covers catch the light, and one shows a sticker on the back; I picked them up and kept them safe, hoping to reunite them with the rightful owner. Please check in via the site and tell me what to do next if you’re missing these Passports— I’d like to help get them home.
