I know of no women's softball, which is played at Patriots Park across the street. The halcyon days of men's fast-pitch are gone, and even church league softball has dwindled. Today we are playing MLB on streaming devices....the end of America as we know it.JoshLCowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04629261668065446844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-13492414695150129372016-12-23T10:39:19.649-05:002016-12-23T10:39:19.649-05:00This goes back a century when Lehigh Valley Transi...This goes back a century when Lehigh Valley Transit opened up the Fairview Streetcar Barn. It's been that way since then after the trolley cars rode the rails to oblivion and the GM busses took over. Fairview field was there before 1939 as a open space for the neighborhood as well.<br /><br />What is needed here is a better solution for LANTA instead of it gobbling up Fairview Field. For example, who owns all the industrial land where Mack used to be east of Lehigh behind Parkway Shopping Center? Does the city own it ? There is a lot of vacant land there after they tore down those buildings years ago. Plenty of space for a very substantial and modern servicing center for LANTA buses. Then the old Fairview facility can be turned into something more suitable for a residential neighborhood. Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753485153237507244noreply@blogger.com
