[edit] Airport Location

I don't mean to be nitpicky, but the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport is technically within Pittston Township's boundaries with an Avoca mailing address using the 18641 postal code. As such, referring to the airport as being "located in Avoca" is inaccurate and misleading; I realize our local media outlets, with the expception of the Times-Leader, are guilty of this fallacy as well, as they have now dubbed it the "Avoca Airport." Come to think of it, much of the businesses in my hometown of Pittston Township are unfairly referenced as being in other nearby communities (The "Pittston" Wal-Mart, the Pilot Travel Center in "Dupont", the "Avoca" Airport, etc.) We, as a community, need to stop being so lazy and actually hold ourselves accountable for geographical confusion brought upon by sheer ignorance. -Paul J.
