Exeter is a borough in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area; totally different than the Exeter Township, near Reading

Oh I see, I totally got the locations confused! 2 hours away is a huge difference. Thanks for catching that.

To make things even more confusing, there's both an Exeter Borough AND Exeter Township in Luzerne County.

Mmm looks like It’s about a 50 minute drive one way give or take…might be a little too far but I’ll run it by him!

That's closer to two hours.

Crime in Wilkes Barre is probably the highest of the cities you listed. Kingston is across the river from Wilkes Barre. Both will have typical small city nightlife.

Dallas is a suburban area, has a fair amount of restaurants and bars and probably the safest one you mentioned.

Scranton is also a typical small city. Has its good areas and bad.

As far as outdoorsy stuff, you can live anywhere in NEPA and find something to do within a pretty short drive. Hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, mountain biking, and if he likes winter activities, skiing, snowshoeing.

Conshie is just outside of Philly! A bit more than 50 minutes last time I drove down 476. More like 2 hours.
