Exactly. 94.1% of Scranton's 29,780 labor force members owned at least one vehicle, so even those living relatively near to this complex might drive, especially on a sub-zero day like today. Most people in our region commute to work by driving solo. We're an autocentric area.

Actually Paul, I drive into work with a fellow employee, so that's one less car on the road when I go into work in the morning.

There is no street scape in that area of town. None at all.

There could start to be, though...

Sounds like we have a winner.... Does Watson get an Iced Coffee too, or has to share Scran's?

Oh, and 94.1% you say? I wouldn't have pinned it at anything less than 94.3%.

What if I own the property and actually plan to build a 4,000 ft skyscraper on the property? Which will include everything you can possibly think of, the term "Lifestyle Center" is completely re-defined by me.
