I just tried to go there and I think Aquatic Dreams closed.
There's DC pet for live rock and some inverts.
My reccomendation is Pet Zone in Pittston they're good for Fish and Corals. (Tell them John told you about them).
And there's Pet City in Edwardsville. They're kinda whacked with their prices but sometimes they have interesting stuff.

LFS in Scranton:
Aquatic Dreams - used to be on Greenridge Ave, moved to Keyser Ave, not far from Allied Rehab. It is now located in a strip mall in the same store as a locksmith. Easy to miss. I prefered the old store. I haven't been there in six months or more, so it is possible that they closed, but I would be surprised, since the owner is also the locksmith. They had some decent stuff, tended to be a bit pricy, but seemed to care about the livestock.
Petco -enough said
DC pets - cheap, but scary, questionable care.
Outside of Scranton:
Pet Zone in Pittston - pretty decent last time I was there. Seemed to care about livestock.
Peg leg Pete's near Carbondale, primarily deals with parrots, but had a small but well kept and cared for salt water area. Storefront is attached to home. In the middle of nowhere, but the owner had a beautiful personal tank which he enjoys showing. I haven't been there for over a year. The owners were having health issues at my last visit, check to make sure they are still open.
Hope that helps

Just got back from Ocean's Window. Nice place, they have a small coral setup going and some inverts. The people are real enthusiasts. Very down to earth. I hope they do well. I can't imagine how hard it is to start up in the industry like that.
Good luck to them... Maybe I might bump into some other RCers down there sometime.

I live 5 mins from Jim's shop. I have dealt with him before he opened the shop. He is real nice people. Everything in the store is DIY except the actual tanks. His price are of the hook low too.
