YEP - I remember Wilkes Barra. That was regular and so was Wilkes Bear. But “people” couldn’t figure it out and got stressed so they had to let ‘em start calling it Wilkes Barry.
Ehhh.
Anyway - hubby said NO PROTESTERS at the rally. He’s headed for Clarks Summit to get me my Krispy Kremes.
Uggggh. Even though he ducked out five minutes early, he said there is so much parking traffic that he will be stuck for at least an hour waiting to get out.
Remember what “Schroeder” advised..
.You better start eating some protein NOW!!! LOL LOL
My dad grew up in Kingston, right next door and still have cousins in W-B. We always pronounced it like you do Wilkes-Barra or sometimes Berra, like Yogi. But even the locals will still stay Wilkes-Berry at times, especially my cousin.
