Can we Do It

Mayor - YES

Developer - YES

----- but we will need some help from volunteers.








Did you guess what our project is ...


Save the sign.






Crane Extended to 110 Ft

Lehigh County Courthouse Renovation - Hamilton and 4th

Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS) going up, up ...


















I was making my way to the post office when I saw the crane lifting the EIFS - the quality of my picture does not show the measurement on the boom but trust me it was 110 ft!
They still had to lift the parapet but I had to get going so I missed that shot.

View on Howe Street


I contacted Allentown Recycles today to inquire about a recent grafitti attack and a dumpster that has been forgotten.




















I heard the dumpster has been sitting there for three years!


















How about that big chunk of concrete wall laying in the street?

Busy Day in Retail

I was walking around the neighborhood on Saturday and was supprised to see so many people out shopping. I needed a haircut so headed to the barber shop on 9th (btn Linden and Hamilton). Long queue of waiting patrons - the weather was warm and the sun bright and people were out spending money!
