Another town from the Addams Family. User Rating 0.5 rating By dryback ( May 26, 2015) Gilberton, really a 71. There might be one bar here and that's it.. The Police department got disbanded because the Police chief was posting anti-racial postings on you tube. Its dark cloudy and full of great blight. Gilberton is also very polluted as it is right next to a Coal ...Read More co-generation plant. Its an overall scary place. It would be like something that would be out of Stephen King novel or a town the Addams Family would reside. Like everywhere else in the lower coal region it has it share of drug problems. I would stay the real ranking on Gilberton would be probably about a 10 at most. Read Less
