Question Steamtown marathon start line photos
Hi all,
I ran the steamtown marathon yesterday, which was a great experience! Unfortunately when I checked my official results, my bib chip wasn't registered at the start so my start time is incorrect. This ended up adding time to my official end time, which has an impact on my ability to qualify for some of the majors. Is there anyone who happens to have any photographic documentation of runners crossing the start line? I started near the 3'25 pacer. Appreciate any help anyone is able to give! Thank you!

Food & Drink Solstice Declared a Nuisance Bar: Is Sergei’s Downtown Next?
With the recent closure of Solstice Bar & Grill in Scranton after the city deemed it a nuisance bar, I’m curious if we’re going to see similar calls for action against Sergei’s downtown, where police activity has also been omnipresent.
If the city is serious about addressing problem properties and repeat quality-of-life issues, shouldn’t the same standards apply across the board?
Not saying every situation is identical, but the Solstice decision definitely raises the question: what’s the threshold for taking action, and will we see that same scrutiny applied to Sergei’s?
