From deep in a bunker somewhere in the Lehigh Valley, molovinsky on allentown provides a daily dose of truth. Unlike the local newspaper which is overzealous in its promotion of the NIZ, this blog reports objectively on that program, which is siphoning off our state tax dollars. Unlike other local blogs, this blog doesn't carry a torch for any candidate, in any race. Unlike the other media in the valley, this blog doesn't cater to any of the sacred cows, which normally receive no scrutiny elsewhere.
The blog is not monetized, directly or indirectly, in any way. This commentary is produced five days a week. Reader comments are accountable to their actual name or established pseudonym.
In the course of producing this blog, as outlined above, I have offended numerous people. This is an unintended consequence, which does give me pause. However, unless this blog can provide something unique, not otherwise available, there would be no justification for all the time and effort required.
ADDENDUM: While I was sketching out the above post yesterday, hundreds of people were gathering at 6th and Hamilton for the ribbon cutting of Tower 6. The paper reports today that J.B. Reilly said...Many employees are expected to live in downtown Allentown.... Despite all the previous new construction and ribbon cuttings, last night center city still appeared deserted. The restaurants were virtually empty. Although some worry about downtown becoming gentrified and displacing people of lower income, I believe that is a fear that they need not concern themselves with.
UPDATE 7:00p.m: I have made a revision in the second sentence of this post. ...in bed with the NIZ has been changed to overzealous about the NIZ. The former wording unfairly implied a quid pro quo arrangement.
Looks like you're definitely on the right track here.
ReplyDeleteGood job MM. At least our former disgraced ans corruption filled mayor will not be around when the toll rings on this legal pyramid collapses.
ReplyDeleteMM, is that picture of you from when dead eds boys in blue walked you across the street to be booked into LCP? How did you get to make a call to the bail bond agency before being indicted locally for being a nasayer too?
