Allentown, PA

[Amy C.]

Hi all,

Does anyone know much about Allentown, PA?  I have passed by for work, and my impression is sadly, another post-industrial, once-thriving town, struggling.  However, my generally astute neighbor, has told me that there is a lot of revitalization going on there.  I know the town of Easton, about 20 miles east went through some positive changes about 10 years or so ago, and I believe, helped draw a NYC contingency to the town, being it was only an hour or so away.

Does anyone have personal knowledge with examples or good websites or articles to share on the subject?  

Thank you so much for any help you can provide!!

Amy
