I grew up in wilkes barre, it's been over 20 years since I've been back. Amazing work on this video. It took me back to my childhood.
Hey Ryan, I had a great time while there. I was on a project in Hazleton but I wanted to stay in Wilkes Barre. A lot of great people and very diverse little town. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I was born and raised there and married there. I used to love the area…it’s so sad today. The town seems like the music in this video.
Thanks miss home
take away all the buildings, all the bridges, electrical wire and poles, clean the river, and what you would have left is a beautiful valley and what I would call paradise. We truly live on one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world, the Wyoming Valley from Piston down to Berwick is a masterpiece done by a divine artist....peace
Kurt Cole Well said... I would drive from Wilkes Barre to Hazelton daily and just loved the commute through the mountains.... Beautiful place indeed.
Yea take 98% of the people with it to
Muy bello desde santo domingo
The first building they show at the opening of this video says it all.
lmao facts
Wow grew up here. It seems so small now. The nostalgia is real.
I know this video was posted a year ago. I grew up in the Valley and still live here. The one part you showed of the church with the red roof, Saint Ignatius Roman Catholic Church, and the tan brick building (Good Shepard Academy) across the street on N. Maple Ave. are on the West side of the Valley. The town is called Kingston, it is not part of Wilkes-Barre. On the next block is the fields for Wyoming Seminary Preparatory School and the Russian church. Everything else you showed was Wilkes-Barre. The vacant lot that is on the corner when you enter Wilkes-Barre from the Market St. bridge from Kingston is where the Hotel Sterling once stood. It sat vacant for many years and had to be demolished due to damage caused by flooding in 2011 (flood gates leaked). The brick building without windows next door to the vacant lot is the Sterling Annex, which is being restored. There are plans to build a new hotel on the site where the Sterling was located. Great video!
Michael LoGrande Hello, i greatly appreciated the tour. I was there a short spell and did not really have the opportunity to know about the town. I actually liked the area but seems there are some that are not fans. I am going to look up the flood that occurred there and thank you once again...
Lived in 187 South Sprague ave, Kingston in 1990, love it

You won't find much on the 2011 flood, but lots on the 1972 flood from hurricane Agnes. We had 5 feet of water on the 2nd floor of our house, in South Wilkes-Barre.
You should see that building in your opening shot now.
1:54 to 2:25 are in Kingston across the river. 2:08 specifically is St. Ignatius RC Church. The building across the street is Good Shepherd Academy. The street is N Maple Ave between W Hoyt and Pringle Sts.
kingston honestly has some of the prettiest buildings in the valley
I was doing a day trip to PA drove past this place and I kinda want to move here. Why is everyone so negative about it?
Nicely done!
Erica Yarnell Hey, thank you...
I was born there and lived there for 18 years. Mountains are beautiful. I am now in New Jersey for 40 plus years.
A pretty cool place but you can tell this town has seen better days...
My father was born in Wilkes Barre and lived on Wyoming Street.
If you don't live there and your life is good, it might seem ok, but living in it everyday without the birds eye view and the nice music is a completely different perspective. Wilkes-Barre is hell on earth.
James Muller Hello, I create these videos not to offend anyone and if it did, I apologize for this. However, my very short visit there was great and the people I met were hospitable and nice. Not sure what hell you are experiencing but I do hope that you find your resolve. I can see that there were better economic times there like any city or state there remains blighted areas.
@@BumbleBeeProductions1 Try living there. Scranton and Wilkes-Barre are some of the worst cities in PA.
@@jamesmuller1481 which part you live in bro- ive never had any problems going to school here
@@liammcgraw6784 I live outside of WB near Mtn. Top.
James Muller I live in Kingston, pretty much on market street
Nice work. What model drone do you utilize?
Hello, I used my Mavic 2 Pro to fly around...
Home just south of there
Nice
Thank you!
Hey ryan me too
Swore id never leave
Lived here all my 54 years: Was at one time a great town with low crime, old world charm, friendly people, thriving businesses and a police force that would actually help people. Now, most of the old charm is replaced by crime, hatefull people, not many places to go, failed businesses, very few good jobs and one of the most crooked law enforcement agencies in the country. Sad to say but I should've moved out years ago -
mark kukowski Sorry to hear that....
Mark is nuts. It's a great place to live and work.
Wilkes-Barre is like most old towns that have seen their glory years ago, but it still has much to offer. Great sights and architecture, many things to do both in the city and within close proximity and there are certainly many job opportunities. Sure there are sour people like Mark who put down the area from which they reside, but those people are usually failures in life no matter where they call home.
Why most of the buildings look like not been taken care of for years? Is it cause of 1972 flood?
There seems to be blight in every city I go through. I am assuming poor economy.
Very poor, it over built the coal industry fell out that's all they based themselves on. My mother lived there I couldn't stand it then. She past I found new friends and went to lancaster. Much better.
Or it's because Wilkes Barre hahah.
It was a coal town, when the coal left so did the money
@Slippery Storm its actually doing better than it has in a while
I presume that you used a drone over the city.
Too quiet more me. I'll stay in CA.
I should have there still some relatives from Poland - Zaremba, Castine or Godlewski - if you know the names - shout out.
Drone
hoi
Thank you... I think!
This place blows. So poor and corrupt. Across the bridge they made it illegal to wash your car in your driveway and you get fined for doing am oil change in your driveway
Well! The video is not about the who’s or what’s of the community. I was not there long enough to experience the city much. It is older and somewhat blighted but a nice town and the folks I met seemed nice.
@@BumbleBeeProductions1 oh don't get me wrong. Great video. You managed to polish a turd better then hollywood. Shit you got some skills. Very nice video. The way you made a Wasteland of terror and corruption look so amazing is beyond me. I'll be watching your other videos. Keep up the good work.
Lol! I appreciate the kudos. I want to say, it’s not your favorite place. You can tell at one time it was a place to be. Not so much now. I try to capture the hood but can be deceptive. Thank you though and hope you enjoy more of what I post from my many travel spots.
@@BumbleBeeProductions1 when I first move here in 08 it Was so nice. Once all the night clubs left down town due to government hitting then with all sorts of fees the town just went down hill. I use to love wb now it just needs to be reset. But I will be watching more of your videos tonight when I'm bored. You earned a subscribe
@@cr4sh0veride hey! Greatly appreciate your support and sad to hear about Wilkes Barre. Seems as though many small towns are experiencing the same decline. Sad times indeed…
