Ok, tell us about the good shopping in that area.

Well, define "good shopping?"

Viewmont Mall, Dickson City: 80-Store Mall Anchored by Macy's, Sears, and JCPenney.
Steamtown Mall, Downtown Scranton: 90-Store Mall Anchored by Steve & Barry's, Boscov's, and The Bon-Ton
The Shoppes at Montage, Moosic: Upscale 60-Store "Lifestyle Center" slated to open in March.

I am so glad you are here Paul. I saw the stores in Wilkes-Barre from Rt. 81.
All I can say is "wow".

Yes. You'd take Route 29 south from Tunkhannock (the road that the Wal-Mart is on) into Luzerne County. In Noxen, you'll pick up Route 309 South, and you'll follow this through Dallas and onto the Cross Valley Expressway, which zooms across Wilkes-Barre. You'll take Exit 1 and then bear right off the offramp onto Kidder Street. You'd then want to make your second left onto Mundy Street, which is the main drag with the Lowe's, Barnes & Noble, Dick's, Pier 1 Imports, Target, Panera Bread, etc. It should be around a 35-minute drive to Tunkhannock (perhaps a few more minutes depending on how far out of town you live).
