Review of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania


Born and raised
Star Rating - 9/5/2020
I had the privilege of being born and raised here in Wilkes-Barre. Unfortunately, the town has deteriorated tremendously.
I shall list pros vs. cons.
Pro:
Casino
Outdoor parks, lakes and fishing spots
Affordable housing market
Great place for older and/or retired folks
Cons:
Horrible roads (pothole city)
High taxes
Blatant and proud racism
No schools or activities for children.
Corrupt court system ( google kids for cash)
