Good news! If you live in Scranton, Pennsylvania, you’ll soon have one more thing to add to your list of fun things to do locally (which I assume is currently comprised of “roam around dangerous abandoned anthracite mines” and “reenact scenes from The Office”). Come July 21st, you’ll be able to surf the vast Intertubes over Verizon 4G.

Joining Scranton in the right to claim 4G coverage come July 21st: Huntsville, Alabama; Springfield, Massachusetts; Knoxville, Tennessee; Greenboro-Winston, Salem-Highpoint, and Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina. Oh, and for my fellow Best Coasters: Los Angeles and San Diego will have their already in-place Verizon 4G coverage expanded on the 21st, as well.
