Directions from Scranton
Get on the Scranton Expressway (i.e., off the Mulberry St. bridge). Follow signs for Clarks Summit, bearing left. You will come out on Northern Boulevard; this later becomes State Street. Proceed straight to the third stop light, getting into the right lane at that light (you will go through a Route 81 underpass just before this light). Bear right at the light, proceeding up the hill and onto South Abington Road. You will soon pass a CVS, which is on your right side. Just past the CVS is Fairview Road; turn right onto Fairview. 1.7 miles later you will hit Maggies Road (a sign for the Applewood Acres Apartments is on the right side); take a left onto Maggies (if you go through an 81 underpass you've gone too far on Fairview). At the first stop sign, take a left. You will now be on Royal Oaks Drive. The address is 304, this is just past the 2nd left on the right (the top picture to the right is the view from the curb). Park in the driveway. Travel on the walkway (pictured to the right) to the back of the house , which is the office entrance. If you have an appointment, there is no need to knock. Just enter and have a seat in the waiting area.
