A dump town named after two memebers of the french parliament, John Wilkes and Isaac Barre. And guess what, they never set foot in America. What was once a sprwaling metropolis of 25,000 people, is now a town being overrun by old people, funeral homes, and ghetto drug dealers. Every-where you look, there's a funeral home in some fancy old house and down the road, you'll see another drug deal or shooting taking place. Another thing Wilkes-Barre prides itself in, having the most amount of potholes and closed bridges, and the most run-down and dumpy downtown ever. Main attractions? The yet to be built movie theater..stanton lanes and never forget..Skateaway!!

City which wishes it was Scranton. Still bragging (can't imagine why) about a stupid flood that happened 32 years ago. Likely to see people dressed like the year is 1983.
At least I'm not from Wilkes-Barre

A woman whose ranking of attractiveness is only a 10 in the city of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, but is comparable to a 5 or 6 in other civilized areas of the world.

The Wilkes-Barre Repair Job is when a car has different colored parts. For example; the hood of the car is black, while the rest of the frame is shit green. Bonus points if multiple parts of the car are different colors.
Jim: “Dude, that car is a piece of shit. It looks like it’s hardly able to run.”
Fred: “I know, you can tell by the Wilkes-Barre Repair Job. The door is brown, the bumper is red, and the car is white. Surprised it still turns on.”
