The meaning of the 4th

 While many will sit around a pool and drink and eat, will any actually appreciate the Freedoms us Americans actually have because of this day?  For some in Allentown, this is just another day.  Another day not to get a job, to spend money we dont have, to not be a good parent, to break the rules, and basically ruin an important day in history for the rest of us.  Feel free to list your complaints.  

The 4th in the City of Allentown

 What you will see if lots of out of state people flooding to our parks and streams to destroy.  Litter, ashes, diapers, food, beer bottles will flood our rivers.  The police will do nothing, the mayor will do nothing.  We worry about Inclusion in this city.   But not our waterways??  You realize we drink some of that water.  It eventually filters out to the ocean.  Doesn't anyone care?  

Don't forget all the fireworks making the city sound like Iran all weekend.  Funny how lower income people have money to waste on fireworks.  

How great Thou Allentown or Not

 I always have people asking me if I liked working for the city of Allentown.  I was an employee for over 7 years and I must say it was the worst experience of my life.  The city does not care about it's employees or the working conditions.  The leaders are not qualified to run their respective departments.  The facilities are garbage.  It's just a toxic place to work.  Tell me about your experience.
