I live in Allentown right now. Sure there are bad parts just like any other city. But the good parts are awesome!!!!! People say Allentown is bad because of it's bad parts! THEY R WRONG! I am 11 and I luv it here. My family luvs it here! It is a really god place 2 live if you are considering moving! It is great so 4 all u haters..,.....I DON'T C HOW U CAN AHTE FROM OUTSIDE OF THE CLUB! U CAN'T EVEN GET IT!
Allentown has its bad areas just like any city. Also, plenty of nice areas. Some people are just too stupid not to get out of these bad areas and proceed to talk shit on the whole city.
The main store at 9th & Hamilton is something I can still see vividly in my mind today. As a child, I remember Saturday shopping trips with family, and while in high school, I worked in the Portrait Studio of the main store. Hess's was a great department store, and I have fond memories of it.
@Skankpronger that's unecesary. i lived in allentown my whole life, been in some pretty bad parts and never had problems involving me. dont be dramatic about it

Wow! Boatload of hate in this thread! Great little slice of history in the video though. Great to see some of the shots here.

Allentown sucks, there is now more crime then cops to protect us, we are screwed.
Stay away stay out. The mayor does NOTHING about the crime, he sells the plastic flowers for the Memorial Sites.
Allentown should be made into a landfill.
The only Caucasians are the ones in the cemeteries.
