I'm not necessarily talking about legit people of color -- but rather full blown ghetto. I could be wrong,since I haven't actually been up there -- but word has it that it's getting pretty bad and overwhelming local authorities. Again, I could be wrong.
I know from law enforcement agents in NYC and urban New Jersey that the Poconos are a popular place for local drug dealers to "lay low." North Carolina is another popular location for such activity, although the distance is a bit longer.
