PITTSTON, Pa. A group of yogis found a way to relieve some stress and anxiety in part of Luzerne County on Saturday.

She says it s more important now than ever because of the stress of the pandemic. A lot of people are needing to take care of their mental health, they re cooped up inside and craving connection really with everybody that they re able to connect with in some capacity, and learn how to manage their mental health on their own too, said Alyssa Kashuda, co-owner of The Salt Barre.
The old Pittston Apparel Company building is likely to host a satellite campus, among other things. Author: Chelsea Strub Updated: 4:32 PM EST January 11, 2021
PITTSTON, Pa. The Pittston Apparel Company logo on a building on Kennedy Boulevard represents a piece of its history and how the city was home to more than 80 dress factories. This building, which is 110,000 square feet, largest building footprint in the city was one of those operations, said Mayor Michael Lombardo. As a matter of fact, my paternal grandmother and two of her sisters work here in the building.
While the pandemic has forced many projects to hit the pause button, that s not the case in Pittston, where work is underway to revamp the building. It is potentially home to a new satellite campus of Alvernia University in Reading.
