Aaron that's Wilkes-Barre, not Wilkes. Wilkes is the University. I'm afraid you will be sorely disappointed by Wilkes-Barre. It was a booming town when coal was king, but since the Knox Mine Disaster in the fifties, it has pretty much gone to seed. The final blow was the Hurricane Agnes flood of 1972. The Wilkes campus, however, is beautiful. I hope your reading goes well.
