As a current resident of Allentown PA, I'm happy to report that we are a striving community. we are centrally located between Philly to the south, and NYC, to the north. many companies have built warehouses in our town. Big names like Amazon, Coke, Nestle, to name a few. Yes Billy Joels' song is sad, and depressing. But life here today is just fine. Thanks for putting us on the map. VISITORS ALWAYS WELCOME!!!😎

My mom was from Bethlehem, the Fountain Hill neighborhood. I spent many summers in Bethlehem/Allentown. Lovely people, beautiful countryside. ⚘️
