The region in Northeastern Pennsylvania, where [Anthracite] coal was or is mined. It is west of the Poconos, east of the [Susquehanna] River, South of Scranton, and north of [The Lehigh Valley]. Hazleton and Wikes-Barre are the two center masses of population.
It suffers from mine pollution, poverty, political corruption, severe emigration push, and a virtually absent intellectual community.
