Hi J.,
Unforturnately, I don't know anything about Ashley, but I live in Old Forge (on the border of Lackawanna and Luzerne counties). I noticed that you used to live in Bucks county. My husband and I moved here from Langhorne about a year ago, we lived there for a year and a half. Its a completely different culture here as opposed to there.
The leading Pediatrician in the area is in Clarks Summit, Dr. Anders Nelson, off of exit 194 of I-81. He's been published in USA Today. Its probably about a 30 min ride from Wilkes-Barre.
Anyway, the Barnes and Noble in Wilkes-Barre sometimes has storytimes that you should check out. I take my kids to the storytimes at the library and to Gymboree. That's about all there is to do around here. Best of luck and welcome to the area.
