You may recall last summer, Wake Up Wilkes Barre published “A Tale of Two Cities” pointing out that while the Barney Farms Park was beautifully
landscaped and maintained, other parks in the city (where the common folk play)
were NOT. After “A Tale of Two Cities” ran, folks spoke about it at council, and the King responded with “the
summer help will be starting soon”.
Now enter the Times Leader TODAY: “Wilkes-Barre resident faults city for condition of tennis courts at park” where a city resident points out how
the tennis courts at the Bog Park, near his home in Miners Mills, are and have been neglected for
years, while the tennis courts at Barney Farms Park, literally in the Kings back
yard are impeccably kept.
- Well your lordship it’s JULY summer help has been on for some time?

Now you could be one of those "Lie-A-Ton Suckholes" we hear tell about, who feels this is acceptable behavior, (and you know who you are), but for the other
39,000 people of our overgrown city, Wake Up Wilkes Barre will translate the city’s response to the Times
Leader, so you can understand their true meaning.
Referring to the forgotten tennis courts at the Bog, The city’s website
still lists the courts as one of the park’s amenities that also include the
playground, two baseball fields, a volleyball court and handball court.
- So either we don’t update the city’s website or we’re just hoping nobody takes notice.
City spokeswoman Liza Prokop said that the city eliminated tennis
courts in the past due to lack of use and maintenance costs.
- OK so we “eliminated tennis courts” but didn't update the website. Humm, Lie much Liza?
“We are always addressing the conditions and use of our recreational
parks and concentrate on those that are used more heavily,” Prokop said.
- What Prokop meant to say here is, “We are always addressing the conditions of our recreational parks near the King’s residence and concentrate on those that are used by those that we feel matter,”
