Breaking Some Eggs


I'm afraid that once again some eggs got dropped in the 2007 recipe for molovinsky on allentown. Don't blame this chef if the politicians and newspaper don't always deal from the top of the deck, and I take notice. This blog realized early on that Zahorchak's Pathway to Success was anything but, and apparently responded appropriately, considering his departure before school ended. Along the way, The Morning Call helped itself to one of my reports, and defended the snatch. Those dropped eggs are a mess. Speaking of eggs, one of my favorite posts of the year was titled Boxing Eggs. In that post, I recall working in my father's market, and the ride there. Such posts allow me to introduce Allentown history, and share photographs of that by-gone era. I also promote 95 year old boxers, who fought in the 1930's. Occasionally. I get to combine history and current political mistakes, such as in Saving the Queen City. I also stretch the recipe to advocate, be it for the abused former merchants of Hamilton Street, or the neglected WPA park structures.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 19, 2019: This blog is in its twelfth year of breaking eggs.  With the departure of Tucker Yarn and Kruper Appliance, the former mercantile district is now completely gone.  Federal authorities have made my criticisms of Mayor Pawlowski now unnecessary.  I do continue to criticize the NIZ, and the Morning Call continues to defend and promote the status quo, whatever that may be.  Speaking of the paper, my opinions are once again not welcome there.  I have changed the policy here on the blog...I no longer accept anonymous comments. Although it has reduced the number of comments substantially,  I believe it adds to the page's credibility.  I will continue with the recipe.  Caution, floor slippery with broken eggs.
