Sits empty....Seemed like alot of election year hype and no follow through. Actually at this point you shouldn't even have to ask, its pretty much typical isn't it?

Concerning an adjacent property
Quote:
Backward approach
Editor: It's hard to believe that we are witnessing a major corporation, Dunkin' Donuts, which I'm sure is very conscious
of its image, building such a building at the gateway to our city.
Now, nobody expects a doughnut shop to be an architectural marvel, but to deliberately position the building on the site
so that the rear of the building is facing the gateway to the city is tantamount to a slur by Dunkin' Donuts for all of us
who take pride in this community.
As it stands, the old gas station actually looked better than the new Dunkin Donuts.
It might be different if they were trying to adapt an existing building to their current operation, but to start from scratch
and not find a better way to project their image is inexcusable. We can only hope that they're planning some wonderful
landscaping and/or some other attractive screen to hide their rear end.
If not, shame on Dunkin' Donuts, for having so little regard for its image.

When was the last time you honestly heard someone in Scranton express concern about the "image" they were presenting of themselves to "outsiders?"  |
