Download or read book Jane Jacobs s First City written by Glenna Lang and published by New Village Press. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thorough investigation of how Jane Jacobs’s ideas about the life and economy of great cities grew from her home city, Scranton Jane Jacobs’s First City vividly reveals how this influential thinker and writer’s classic works germinated in the once vibrant, mid-size city of Scranton, Pennsylvania, where Jane spent her initial eighteen years. In the 1920s and 1930s, Scranton was a place of enormous diversity and opportunity. Small businesses of all kinds abounded and flourished, quality public education was available to and supported by all, and even recent immigrants could save enough to buy a house. Opposing political parties joined forces to tackle problems, and citizens worked together for the public good. Through interviews with contemporary Scrantonians and research of historic newspapers, city directories, and vital records, author Glenna Lang has uncovered Scranton as young Jane experienced it and shows us the lasting impact of her growing up in this thriving and accessible environment. Readers can follow the development of Jane’s acute observational abilities from childhood through her passion in early adulthood to understand and write about what she saw. Reflecting Jane’s belief in trusting one’s own direct observation above all, this volume has been richly illustrated with historic and modern color images that help bring alive a lost Scranton. The book demonstrates why, at the end of Jacobs’s life, her thoughts and conversations increasingly returned to Scranton and the potential for cohesion and inclusiveness in all cities.

Book excerpt: After incorporation in 1866, Scranton demonstrated an indomitable spirit that made it the Electric City and the Anthracite Capital of the World. Nestled in the scenic Lackawanna River Valley, Scranton carried that spirit through the changing economic landscape of the mid-20th century as its coal, railroad, and textile industries declined. In a cityscape that recalls its past, Scranton continues to find creative uses for its iconic structures. The community of Scranton embraces growth and change while celebrating its rich heritage with traditions like trips to the Saturday farmers' market at the historic Iron Furnaces, rides along the old Laurel Line trolley tracks to a RailRiders baseball game, celebrations of rich ethnic heritage at festivals throughout the year, and many more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intense heat of the steel mills and the clatter of coal-filled locomotives once filled the streets of Scranton, Pennsylvania. Hardworking immigrants, iron rails, and anthracite coal from beneath the surface of the lush Lackawanna River Valley powered America's Industrial Revolution, and until World War II, the city reigned as a cutting-edge boomtown. Local journalist Cheryl A. Kashuba chronicles the history of Scranton from the glory days of the Lackawanna Iron and Coal Company and the Dickson Works through the post-Industrial decline and an eventual revitalization of the city. With a deft hand, Kashuba captures the spirit of a proud community and creates a fascinating portrait of the Electric City.

DEGREESHE story of the early efforts to secure a division of Luzerne County, and erect what has since become proud Lackawanna, with Scranton as its county seat, is one that dates back more than half a century, and is replete with interest, because it involves some bits of history concerning almost every man who was alive to the situation, when the possible development of this valley began to be seriously discussed. Several of those who were most active have lived to see the fruition of their labors, which ofttime seemed Sisiphean, and can recall with the utmost satisfaction the determined fight which they had to make against most adverse conditions. Three years before I came into the valley, the question of a division had begun to be agitated, and a sentiment was beginning to crystalize in what afterwards proved a sea of dissension for more than forty years. It generated two distinctive parties, which were constituted without regard to political affiliation, and Proteous-like, appeared in all the guises of opposition and obstruction that the selfish politicians of Wilkes-Barre could devise. The upper townships were almost a unit as to the propriety of separation. The only communication with the county seat was by the triweekly stage, the tedious wagon, or over the rough road on...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a trip back in time and stroll the same streets as Scranton's pioneers. The coal mining town was at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution with the birth of the Iron Furnaces in the 1840's and the manufacturing of T-Rails. "If you can play Scranton, you can play anywhere," originated here during the Vaudeville Era and the "Electric City" shined bright in the 1930's when its population soared with people from all walks of life. Adding to the city's rich history and beautiful architecture is the popularity it has received in recent years, for being the fictional setting of Dunder and Mifflin, The Office television series, as the saying goes "Ain't no party, like a Scranton party." Providence, Hyde Park, and Scranton Proper were organized by a special charter and incorporated as the city of Scranton on April 23, 1866. Celebrate with the city as it approaches its 150th Birthday!
