Bus riders are not all thrilled either. Amazingly, Allentown officials would not talk to the press. <BR/><BR/>To describe the decline in business by these merchants as "growing pains" is elitism at its worst. <BR/><BR/>MM, you are absolutely right on this one.

Instead of sneering at them like an elitist, you are defending them.
