E-a-g-l-e-s.  

Im not an Eagles fan though I love a good story. 

Mrs. Johnson aka "Mama B" who is Shaquan Barkley's mother has decided to move her retail store "Mama B" from Bethlehem to Allentown.  

More importantly the 100blk N. 7th st.  Mrs. Johnson why?  I know you and your son have big hearts for under privileged people.   I admire that.  But Allentown?

You have the means to help others.  I strongly feel those that can, should. I know poor people.  I used to be poor.  Poor people are the most generous people.  They will give you their last dollar. Not because they can because they really cant.  But rather because it makes them feel good to help others.

At first, when I started writing I wanted to say how bad of an idea this move was.  Moving from nice Bethlehem to a high drug area of Allentown.  I wanted to say that is a dumb idea.  

But as I wrote, I realized maybe Mrs. Johnson doesnt care about the possible danger of her new location.  Maybe putting herself at a higher risk of being a victim of something is worth helping people.  That is noble of her.  

I truly hope her store does well and she helps alot in need.  We need more people like her that care about others. I will have to check her store out one day.
