Relocating to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton by myself. NEEDS YOUR HELP/ADVICE!

[poconoproud]

I am going to go with SWB on Parsons/Plains area, and Chef Key on The Heights. You aren't right in center city Wilkes-Barre, but can travel about easy enough. Those are my favorite neighborhoods growing up.

I was born here and raised here and so were 8 generations before me. It is a nice area with people who would do anything to help you we are rich in culture with Movie theaters, playhouses and theaters. Rich in scenery and activities a beutiful river which runs through and in Wilkes-Barre soon to have a portal to fish and boat in it, many lakes and wooded areas if you boat, fish, hunt or hike. And we are rich in our culture mixed with personallity, low crime rate shopping and corner stores and nice apartments and homes whatever you like . I believe you would like it here.

Why would you want to ruin your perfectly happy life by moving to NEPA; ahh, that would be "North Eastern PA"?

I'm an ex-trucker and I've been in Greensboro, NC on numerous occasions; it's a lovely city to live in and to enjoy! With all seriousness, I would suggest a "trial period" in NEPA before committing the whole enchilada. NEPA is unique, too unique for the accommodations of people from other areas of the country, particularly the Southeastern states. A "trial run" would be beneficial to your decision process. BTW; I'm 61 years old and I was born and raised in NEPA and have lived here most of my adult life; I am now attempting to escape to New Mexico!

Don't scare those of us who are moving north

Don't worry at all. I love it here, the view from everywhere is beautiful and drives into the wilderness are simple. The towns in the city sections are coming back in a big way and I look forward to being a part of it.

Join a gym.... like they say, "Move a muscle, move a thought". You see, it's all attitude. All the time. Your misery might not be so much Wilkes-barre's fault.

So take a suggestion. Get off your hiney and get going....you might learn lessons that will serve you and your attitude well no matter where you move.

Good luck, seriously. Life is very short and not all bad. Don't waste your chances or your time feeling sorry or critical.....

Get the hell out of our area the jobs are abudent and life is wonderful.
