I will include a copy of Mack truck's magazine, Bulldog, featuring the boat landing.michael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-43636534871158148682013-08-13T08:26:03.169-04:002013-08-13T08:26:03.169-04:00MM, Beautiful postcard.

I am not sure of the details, but I heard some recent discussion about Allentown mugging Mother Nature of her serenity along the Jordon and may be proposing a Billboard(s) (possibly electronic) for the Jordon parkway/greenway. <br />Has anyone heard anything about this? I always thought this was part of Whitehall and was passive recreation. Seems this quick cash is not consistent with the spirit of DCNR grants that Allentown has been granted and is pursuing. Seems a stop payment should be issued in light of this planned degradation of the park system. Harry Trexler is probably fuming. I hope the Trust pays attention to this!<br /><br />Mayor, how could you do this? How is this becoming of a candidate for Governor?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
