Wilkes-Barre represented at peace march in New York City

My friend Olga, a resident of Manhattan, attended the anti-war rally today. She said she saw a group from Wilkes-Barre.
Did anyone reading this, from our area, attend?

I am originally from W-B but live in NYC. I attended the rally yesterday and would just like to comment that the turnout was far larger than the media is reporting. My husband and I could only get as far as 3rd Ave - Protestors were completely blocking traffic for at least 20 blocks on 3rd Ave alone and subway service was interupted. NYC police stated there were 100,000 protestors, the media reports 200,000 and the rally organizers say 500,000 were present.
