Shopping Malls In Scranton

I would say the Steamtown Mall---more of a selection of stores and a larger and nicer foodcourt; however, it is usually a tad more crowded. Prices are about the same.

Is there a particular store that you are looking for?

For example, Borders is next to the Viewmont Mall; Steamtown has Boscovs, Abercrombie, and Eddie Bauer.

Thx for the info .

I%26#39;m originally from the WB/Scranton area, and I remember when Steamtown Mall first opened it shook a bit. Not overly noticeable, but if you stood still in Boscov%26#39;s, you could feel it.

Does it still shake??

I kind of like the downtown mall...gives you the feeling of a big city in a smaller town.

The ';shaking'; in the Steamtown mall is actually deliberately designed into it. Because the parking garage is beneath the mall, they wanted to limit the number of pillars holding it up (thus allowing for more car space). In order to do this the building had to be flexible. That%26#39;s why (especially on the second floor) you%26#39;ll sometimes feel the building sway. The barely noticeable feeling is similar to a very minor earthquake or walking after being a tad overserved at one of the local Irish pubs!

The Steamtown Mall is a joke. Half of the place is empty storefronts. It is a nice building, but it is obviously not doing well financially. And the clientele is kind of seedy...mainly teenagers hanging around causing trouble and some people who wander in from the no-so-nice sections of Scranton in the Hill Section and South Side. The mall%26#39;s bookstore closed a few years back....the fact that there is no bookstore in this mall should tell you something about the mall%26#39;s main customers.

Personally, I%26#39;m not a mall person anyways. If I%26#39;m in a mall 3 times a year, thats about it. But you%26#39;re much better off with the Viewmont Mall, its thriving, and it is in the middle of a big retail area, surrounded by dozens of restaurants, Borders, Starbucks, a Christian book store, and the usual chain stores.

I live on the southside of scranton, and for everybodys information, Not all of the people who live there are seedy! Me and my husband make very good money. I%26#39;m not from Pa but remarks like that one are why people from out of state don%26#39;t want to live here!! The mall in Scranton( in my opinion is the best one I%26#39;ve been to.
