The area has so much going for it...there is way more to do in Scranton than Sarasota, yet Florida cities,generally, have a better image and mindset. Go figure??

I'm thinking the beaches and the warmer climate make Florida more appealing to people than Scranton....And I would assume the economy is better in FL than in PA.

KOP which is a much, much bigger mall serving a much, much more populous area thrives, I would think the same would hold true for a mall of Steamtown's size in the area that it serves.
The Steamtown Mall is failing because there was really no need for it. The Viewmont Mall is only a few miles away in Dickson City and easier to access. It was good for a few years until the novelty wore off. Only in Scranton would the political leaders be so short sighted to put an enclosed mall in the downtown area with one a few miles away. I like Paul's idea of an open spaced marketplace instead of an enclosed shopping mall.

Another one who's resigned because they didn't win:

Jenkins resigns from Northwest Area School Board | Wilkes-Barre News | The Times Leader

Doesn't say much for their commitment to public service, now does it?

Man, these people are sore losers. You're right, where is their commitment they had when they first got elected? They're clearly looking out for themselves first.
