The new super Hummels Wharf's Monroe Marketplace info thread (State College: for sale, bankrupt)

We made it to Red Robin last night. I did get the soup and salad combo, but decided on the clam chowder and garden salad. Let me say that the clam chowder was the creamiest clam chowder I have ever had. It was sooooooo good!! The salad was very good also, with little shreds of different-colored tortilla chips added on top. I don't like onions and forgot to say "no onions" but fortunately it didn't have them anyway. Everyone else got their usual (burgers for hubby and teenager, grilled cheese and mac & cheese for the younger ones). Everything was very good. We had the raised corner booth in the right front corner this time - felt a bit like we were on display, though, with a TV right over our heads and people looking in our direction to see the TV. It's so colorful there, and every time we've been there someone has had a birthday, so there's singing by the staff. I thought last night, "This is a fun place!" We really do like it there, and plan to go again sometime, finances permitting. We had $3 off last night due to signing up on the web site, so our total bill came to exactly $42 including tax. After a tip, we were down $50 for the week - so this is definitely an "every once in a while" restaurant rather than an every-week restaurant.

I know it's been talked about and known they were going out of business but here's a Daily Item article about Value City stores closing down

"Barefoot", a company that makes condensed saw dust logs for wood burning inserts/stoves/fireplaces called "envi[ronmental] blocks" apparently has moved it's operation into the Selingsgrove area, does anybody know where they are located? They sell mostly to New England states, Pennsylvanians apparently know little about this product because they don't advertise here. Any help appreciated. I just paid a hefty delivery fee from a company 250 miles away, now I find out they're made in my back yard!

These "green" businesses are popping up everywhere. Downtown Scranton just got a new green living retail store called "GreenBeing." I've been meaning to go scope it out before it inevitably goes out of business. LOL!
