The Dreiers know automobiles... and their customers— they are certain they can find the best car for their needs.
   Jeff Dreier became interested in cars as a teen, so it only seemed fitting that Jeff and his wife, Diane, would start their business from their garage. That was more than 30 years ago, with Jeff repairing cars. After a year, they bought a building on State Street, in Wilkes-Barre, and serviced most imports. Five years later, Jeff began buying used Volvos. |

    Fino’s Pharmacy is more than just a corner drug store. Just ask any one of its regular Back Mountain customers. Since 1963, the Fino family has played a vital role in improving and sustaining the health of its neighbors.
   Notably, the history of the building itself dates back to the late 1800s, when it served the Dallas community as Norton’s and later as Kuehn’s Drug Stores. In addition, the building had been physically moved to its present location.

    It appears commonplace that after college, today’s youth traditionally leaves the area for greener pastures. This was not the case for Rebecca Janerich, owner of Beccaina’s Café & Catering.
