I own several historical maps of Allentown. In the first session of Molovinsky University, we discussed a map of the former railroad spur routes throughout Allentown. The second session will analyze a map of center city merchants. Although the map is undated, I estimate it harks back to the very late 1920's, or very early 1930's. City Hall and the police are still located on Linden Street, and the art deco Post Office has yet to be built. The number streets, as is Linden Street, is packed with merchants of all types. Dating this map will be exercise for all Allentown history buffs. This upcoming session, as was the first, will be held at the coffee shop off 4th and Tilghman, again at an inconvenient time to limit participation. I like history, people, not so much...
Place: The Coffee House Without Limits, Located at the Alternative Gallery, Northeast corner of 4th and Tilghman Streets.
Date & Time: Wednesday September 7th, at 2:00 pm
Bonus Friday; A second post, on the Lehigh Valley Airport, will appear at 11:30 AM today.
