City of Wilkes-Barre holds Old-Fashioned Fourth of July Celebration
Jul. 5—WILKES-BARRE — The United States' 249th birthday was observed under the sun at Kirby Park on Friday with the city's Old Fashioned 4th of July Celebration. Food and craft vendors, amusement rides, carnival games, musical performances, and an enormous firework display in the evening were open to the crowd, which came from a variety of areas to celebrate American independence in Wilkes-Barre. The United States Army Field Band performed a free concert on Tuesday, July 1, at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts, and, earlier on July 4, the traditional Bernie's Run benefited the Wilkes-Barre Family YMCA. At the free concert, veterans in the audience were saluted for their service. It's these kinds of community actions that Mayor George Brown considers when thinking about the Fourth of July. "Today, seeing everybody out and enjoying the beautiful day, knowing that today we're going to have great music, great vendors, and then, at the end, we're going to have a great fireworks display... That'll be the culmination of the Independence Day weekend...," Brown said. "I'm very proud to be an American." Brown, who noted that his father served during World War II in the South Pacific, was chatting with passersby throughout the afternoon, whether they were from the city or not. "What happens in Wilkes-Barre pulls in people from different townships," Brown said of the all-encompassing nature of the Old-Fashioned Fourth of July Celebration. David Harter, of Mountain Top, was one of the residents who came to Wilkes-Barre from elsewhere in Luzerne County. The main draw to Kirby Park was the music. "The groups," Harter answered when asked about why he chose to come to the Wilkes-Barre for the Fourth of July for the second year in a row. Triple Fret, Eddie Day & TNT, Fuzzy Park, and the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic were on Friday's performing schedule. "The only suggestion that I would have is to put some shade trees out there," Harter added, pointing to a large sunny spot in the field in front of the Kirby Park stage. In addition to the musical performances, Harter was looking forward to the fireworks at night and the assortment of food options situated behind him. "I think after we're done listening, we're going to do a walk-through to check out the vendors," he said. Other celebrants came from even further away to experience Wilkes-Barre. Kenneth Jones, of New York, said he walked around Kirby Park and the River Common on Thursday night, and realized that Friday would be an exciting day for the community. That's why he was back for the holiday, keeping cool in the shade and watching over the Kirby Park pond. Jones said that most of his time in Northeast Pennsylvania has been spent in the Poconos, but is now realizing that Wilkes-Barre has a lot of history and nature to explore. In the context of the modern era, the admirable bonding displayed by the people in Kirby Center for the Fourth of July taps into some much-needed community-building. "We were just saying every community should have it," Jones said of the Fourth of July celebration. "It brings community together. Especially in the times we're living in now, we need all the community fun we can have while we can have it."

The short carousel included a photo with a plate of cupcakes in red, white, and blue, with the hand of one of her kids reaching for a sweet treat. The next slide was a selfie of her and Harry that may have been taken on that long-ago date, and then a final picture of a cupcake reading: '4th of July.'

They're like, slay the dragon, save the princess. I'm like, that's my just going to do whatever he can to make sure that our family is safe and protected, and we're uplifted and still make time for date nights.'

‘Jurassic World: Rebirth' Defies Rotten Tomatoes, May Make A Billion Dollars
Jurassic World Rebirth If you're wondering why they're continuing to make Jurassic Park movies over and over again despite the quality being consistently sub-par, look no further than Jurassic World: Rebirth, which is now mirroring the box office haul of the last poorly reviewed Jurassic Park movie, Jurassic World: Dominion. Box office estimates for Jurassic World: Rebirth continue to climb. The film did $25 million in Thursday previews, and that will rise on Friday. The outpacing of expectations indicates that Rebirth may end up nabbing a $145 million opening in the US. Why is that number key? Because a $145 million haul would exactly mirror the domestic opening weekend of Jurassic World: Dominion, which went on to make $1.001 billion by the end of its global run, almost two-thirds of that outside the US. So, if the figures hold, Rebirth might hit that as well. This is a prime example of a split opening between critics and audiences, where lower critic scores have little effect on audience enjoyment and a big box office. The split of these two movies on Rotten Tomatoes sits at: The success of Rebirth is additionally impressive because the series has switched over from its core cast of Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard to being led by Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey. Great actors, but generally not thought of as massive box office draws, despite their fame. Jurassic World Rebirth If you look back even further, even lower audience scores cannot stop the Jurassic Park behemoth. 2018's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom got a 47% critic score and an also-bad 48% audience score. Want to guess how much money it made? $1.3 billion. The original Jurassic World, which was well-liked by both groups, made $1.67 billion. The point being, audiences are going to show up for a Jurassic Park movie (now Jurassic World) no matter what. Yes, the box office has 'dropped' over time, but…dropped to a billion dollars. Few other franchises can boast that, and Jurassic Park has outlived the box office runs of most recent Marvel and Star Wars films at this point. It is not really a question at all whether another Jurassic World movie will be made, and best guess is probably another three years from now. Whether it stars these current actors remains to be seen, as it could be the start of another Pratt multi-film run led by Johansson. Given its performance, I'm sure everyone would love to return for more, including its director, Gareth Evans, where this is his first Jurassic film after directing several monster movies before this, including Godzilla. Jurassic World: Rebirth is a huge hit once again proving that critics don't always matter (somewhat of a bummer as a critic myself, but it's true). Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
