The Small-Town City

by Lhenne1 - last update: Mar 9, 2007

Looks like a city, feels like a small town

Cedar Beach
So this is where I was born and raised. I must admit, I never thought much of A-town while I lived there, but since I've been gone about 7 years, I miss it.

Allentown is the type of place that even after you've been away for decades, you'll still run into people you know at the grocery store. A feel of Pennsylvania Dutch matched with the contemporary.

An amusement park, the one-time home of the liberty bell, and close to the historical sites in Bethlehem and Easton, PA. Near New York and Philly if you want a city, but head the other direction if you seek a quiet farm life in Lancaster County.

Enjoy my little taste of Pennsylvania.

Pros:"Small town feel in a city"
Cons:"Expanding too quickly"
In A Nutshell:"Born and raised here...I miss it."

 Great tips on Allentown. I'll look for Yocco's Hot Dog King next time I'm in the Lehigh Valley area. Cheers from NJ, Bill

 I went to ESU for a few years many moons ago. Although I have some memories of being in Allentown alas, you'll find no tips or photos from me. Sorry!
