The Look Up: People and Places

This is a new kind of post I want to try out. I am constantly Googling, Alexa-ing, and generally researching random things every day. That's partly because of my career path but also because I just need to know. In this series, I want to share those things I look up in a given week.
​

• Miguel Angel Felix Gallerdo - We finally wrapped up watching season 2 of Narcos: Mexico. I looked up this drug lord several times both for hints of spoilers and to see if what the series showed was true to life.
• Amado Carrillo Fuentes - Ditto above but also for the final conversation in the last episode.
• Carcinoma - A lot of my random research is driven by reading the news. In this case, it was CNN's alert that Saved by the Bell actor Dustin Diamond had died.
• Scranton - I was watching The Office and Pam was talking about going to "the lake." I wanted to see a map of the lakes near Scranton. Turns out, there is a Lake Scranton. When I zoomed in to the map to get a sense of the the size, the Radisson near the Lackawanna Train Station was highlighted... which is hilarious if you're a big fan of the show. That Radisson looks way better than the one they put on the show.  Also, I learned that Lake Scranton is about 25.5 miles square in size and has a 3.5 mile running track around it.
• 1426 H St., NW - I read a story that a new Cheesecake Factory was opening in DC and want to know exactly where it was going.
• Lake Wallenpaupack - [See Scranton] Watching the booze cruise episode and needed to know if it was real. It is. Then needed to know where in the state it was.
