About the Book

Wilkes-Barre PA has been a dying city. It is time we who live here pick ourselves up by the bootstraps and begin our return to glory In the middle of the last century, Wilkes-Barre's population was approaching 90,000. Today it is 43,000. This did not happen overnight. Over the years, many of the city's kind benefactors, such as the Kirby family, helped keep the city vibrant. Whenever it needed a boost, they were there to rejuvenate. Having had half the population move out of town, Wilkes-Barre no longer could count on a local family to be there at the right time with the right answer. Wilkes-Barre saw its population declining with the mines no longer sustaining the city. We noticed stores, even the best of the best shutting down or moving out from necessity. We all noticed that other businesses that once provided hundreds of jobs not being able to continue. . Mark Twain once said that "The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." Wilkes-Barre officials and residents over the years have heard the death knell for the city and instead of contesting it fiercely, allowed it to happen. Like Twain, our demise has been greatly exaggerated. Those times are in the past. Wilkes-Barre can and must find its way out of the mire and return to glory. May good leadership help Wilkes-Barre find a way to reclaim its future. Those with grew up in this City, as well as those who love our Diamond City, will enjoy this book. Few books are a must-read but Brian Kelly's Wilkes-Barre, PA: Return to Glory will melt your heart as your author recounts some great stories from the past and points out how to stop the decline and move this city back to Glory. This book needs to be at the top of your reading list, especially for those who have lived or now live in Wilkes-Barre. Shop for this book and others at LETS GO PUBLISH! Books at www.bookhawkers.com, and unexpected places throughout Wilkes-Barre.

In 2010, Kelly ran for Congress as a Democrat against a 13-term Democrat and, took no campaign contributions, spent enough to buy signs and T-shirts, and as a virtual unknown, he captured 17% of the vote. Brian Kelly ran for Mayor and lost in the 2015 primary to the current Mayor of Wilkes-Barre, Anthony George. He still has a donation site available at www.bookhawkers.com for unreimbursed expenses. Better yet, buy a book. God bless you all.
