Wilkes-Barre

Ethnic city-ette in Luzerne County, PA. Better than Scranton. Only prob is, nobody seems to know how to pronounce the name of this damn place.
Wilkes-Bar? Wilkes-Baar? Wilks-Barry?

Wilkes-Barre

Up-and-coming city in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The de facto hub of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton/Hazleton metro area which is home to over 600,000 people. Like most Pennsylvania cities, Wilkes-Barre went through hard times in the latter part of the 20th century, but for the past decade or so, the city has been on a serious rebound along with its more notorious, but less happening neighbor, Scranton. With all of the renovations, the scenery in Wilkes-Barre has become very charming, including Northampton and Main, the beautiful riverside areas near Wilkes University, the new PA Dept. of Labor building, new antique downtown lighting system, and the loads of mid to upscale shopping establishments near the arena. Wilkes-Barre is the original home to HBO and Planters Peanuts and there are over 8 colleges/universities both in and around the city. Perhaps not the best place on the planet but a very decent affordable pleasant city located conveniently right outside of the Eastern Seaboard.

During presidential elections, Wilkes-Barre, a swing area in a swing state, becomes a noisy circus of national personalities, including George W. Bush, Al Gore, John Kerry, Rudy Giuliani, Laura Bush, Dick Cheney, and Hillary Clinton.

Wilkes-Barre not as redneck as Pottstown and Wellsboro... Where RAPE AND MURDER is not news to a citizen.

Wilkes Early College

This school is full of a bunch of teenagers who either try too hard or know how to cheat. Most of us were accepted by pure luck. A lot is expected out of us so we’re here basically killing ourselves just trying to pass. Everyone thinks we’re smart while we’re really not. We’re all sad and struggling. This may or may not be a call for help.

Someone: Wow you go to Wilkes Early College? You’re probably SOO smart!

Wilkes-Barre

One of the better areas in northeastern Pa, along with the Poconos and Kingston. Certainly better than Hazleton, Nanticoke, Scranton or Glen Lyon. Dosent consist of low class scum like those areas. Located near Kingston Pennsylvania in the valley surrounded by mountains. Has arenas, good restraunts, decent, good scenery.
