Definition

A mid-sized Pennsylvania city that achieved immortal pop culture status thanks to a certain mockumentary about paper sales. Known officially as "The Electric City" due to being an early adopter of electric streetcars, though most people know it as the place where Jim pranked Dwight for nine glorious seasons. It's proof that any city can become iconic with the right sitcom behind it.

Example Usage

"I'm moving to Scranton!" "Why, are you going to work at Dunder Mifflin or something?"
