Bringing back the Garden Village 
West Pittston took a devastating blow last year with the flooding and many are concerned with its future.
As you drive through the streets of the once beautiful Garden Village, you see vacant businesses along with houses for sale touting “make reasonable offer.”
One cannot help but think can West Pittston recover?
As a lifelong resident of West Pittston I have a vested interest in the recovery and future of the place I call home. Read More ...

Urban’s friends (and yes he does have a few) under the Dome are circulating petitions for his run in the new 17th Congressional district. Incumbent Tim Holden and Moosic attorney Matt Cartwright are also in the race.” Read More ...
