Wilkes barre PA vs Scranton PA.

[Nicholas Weckstein]

I'm curious to hear opinions on Wilkes barre and Scranton. More specifically which city you think is better, has a better chance of doing better in the future. I own a 3 unit in Hanover township 10 min from downtown Wilkes barre. My agent tells me Wilkes barre is a bad city. High crime rate etc. But when I look with my own eyes. Wilkes barre's down town is much nicer than Scranton's. I've looked at the economic statistics on both but I've read so much bad about Scranton. And equally as much bad about Wilkes barre. And I'm the same note I've also read so many promising things about both cities I'm hoping to start a bit of a debate Opinions ?
