|
| | | Greetings to all AFOLers in Wilkes-Barre! I'm not from PA, but visit WB occasionally (well, ok. . . maybe once a year), and really like the city/region, and I thought it might be fun to hook up with some fellow Lego fans when I'm in town.

I'm staying at the Inn at Nichols Village in Clarks Summit, working at MetLife up here. What a coincidence! Chris (25 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.pa.phi.swb)

I have family in WB, so I often go on vacation there, and I thought that I'd try to make some contacts and future friends in that area. When I was there last summer (...)

I'll check some of those places out. i hate to offend any natives here, but the whole town reminds me of a suburb that doesn't have a city to belong to.

As of about ten years ago, the only people you seemed to see were very old (...) (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.pa.phi.swb)

I remember when I was a kid visiting those relatives, one of my favorite things to do was to go down to the "Corner Toy Store" (?) on Market Street to look at Lego. It's long gone however. At least there is a TRU up (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.pa.phi.swb)

I'll be all over that next time I go to the WB. Fellow Texans: (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.pa.phi.swb)
