Yep, that's why renaming Allentown to Wilkes-Barre for my team is a happy compromise. Allentown is only forty miles south of Wilkes-Barre and makes geographical sense.
Wilkes-Barre and Scranton are two cities that are usually linked when talking about them or their sport teams. The majority of professional teams in this area (ex: Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers (AF2 team), Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons (AAA Affiliate of Yankees) just hypenate the two teams. But in actuality, they are seperate cities about fifteen miles apart.
