Heart beat of the Lehigh Valley

 Why does Mayor Tuerk continue to say that Allentown is the Heart Beat of the Lehigh Valley?  It is more of the brown starfish of the valley.  City is way overpopulated for the services it puts out vs. the taxes it generates.  Downtown is a joke. No one goes there anymore.  Moxey never has people staying there, atleast no where near capacity.  The Archer doesnt seem to have many people attending the concerts either.  This city used to be a destination when Crocodile Rocks was open.  Banana Joes was awesome back in the day.  The Sterling Hotel was another favorite.  Now who wants to dare go to a club around 3rd/hamilton st.  There is no heartbeat.  The city has Cedar Beach and Birney Crum events going for it and thats about it.  How did it become so shitty?

The city has had a steady decline since the early 2000s. There is just bad leaders everywhere. Money is wasted. Priorities arent focused on. Look at all the bad streets in town. The crime if it is better doesnt make me feel any safer. Its hopeless.

It wasn't easy to get to the current state, took a lot of political selfishness. Looks like you won't be sugar coating the issues here...thanks for that!

It wasn't easy becoming so "shitty"! We allowed a contrived real estate scheme to chase the organic commerce off Hamilton Street. I see no plan in the current administration to improve the situation. Welcome to the blogosphere.

Like everything in this wonderful world, Allentown has become a money grubbing parasite. Why must we economize, the city only knows one word...MORE... and they always get it just to piss it away on some hair brained half assed idea that does nothing and goes nowhere... save for lightening our wallets.

Sweep Tickets Truth

You always hear Chief Roca and Mayor Tuerk talk about Sweep Tickets.   They claim if you swim in our waterways you can get a $100 Sweep tick...
