SCRANTON-- Recently Joe Biden came back to his childhood home and visited Ann Kearns.

This three-story home on 2446 North Washington Avenue has received more media attention than any other family home in Scranton.

"This a a picture of Joe going to our third floor," Kearns said flipping through pictures of the VP candidate who lived here until the age of 10. "He used to write on the walls when he was a kid and we had to paint over it. He would write: Kilroy was here and Joe was here. We reminded him of that when he came. My son stood with a sharpie and told him: Senator we'd love you to write on that wall again and this time we're not going to paint over it again"

He did. Sen. Biden wrote: "I'm home."
