Funny, I was just there for ten weeks working at Metlife in Clarks Summit. I
stayed at the Inn at Nichols Village (NICE!!!) I really liked that dickson
city area- I drove to TRU every night looking for the new sets, then found
them the weekend I got back home to Cinci! That Walmart is great too.

For non PA folks- they have a beer there - yeungling (yingling) that no one
calls by its name- they just say, give me a lager, and everyone knows they
mean yeungling.
