In fact, it may hurt the city in the long run. In the meantime, family's and businesses have been wrecked. Allentown is a good city that his in a heavy transition. Too bad those of european descent have fled to the burbs. A new Allentown is emerging with an urban and latin flair. Instead of fighting it and thinking that european type of models will bring back those people, its time for City to accept its future and embrace it!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-22751104190081764762011-05-24T07:57:13.623-04:002011-05-24T07:57:13.623-04:00the Times of India is running this issue.

One thing that caught my eye was this:<br /><br />"The tool is the linchpin in Pawlowski's plans for an Allentown Entertainment District, which would feature not only the arena but also a community events center and a third anchor attraction."<br /><br />Has there been any public discussion about this "Entertainment District"? What is the next block to be chopped in the name of eminent domain? <br /><br />As far as I understand it, this new tax zone for development is quite large. Where is the map of this zone, and which businesses could fall within this 130 acres of potential development?<br /><br />When this tax zone was created in 2009 by Rendell, it seemed to be with the understanding that the Riverfront would be developed. Already, we are seeing the rules changed dramatically. I want to know what the next step is in Pawlowski's "Entertainment District." I am afraid that the hockey arena is simply step one.<br /><br />Finally, here is a very interesting article on the economics of sports arenas that are taxpayer funded. Very disturbing:<br />http://www.ntu.org/ntuf/stadiums-and-subsidies-strike-out-for-taxpayers.html<br /><br />Thanks again - I will be quiet now!Monkey Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804161916550923342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-80427350154767749382011-05-22T09:34:37.511-04:002011-05-22T09:34:37.511-04:00Arrogant, colluding, crooks.

Where is the analysis of this project? Where is a the list of pros and cons??<br /><br />I have two questions about this plan:<br />1. Is there going to be a lawsuit?<br />2. Was there ever any public discussion about this arena, prior to the eminent domain vote? Why hasn't Council evaluated the merits of this project in public? <br /><br />I do not understand why normal city business takes months (sometimes YEARS), yet a huge arena gets fast tracked with absolutely no public discourse or serious consideration.<br /><br />Thanks again to Molovinsky for bringing insight to this arena. Withough "Molovinsky on Allentown," there would literally be no forum for an honest evaluation of the Pawlowski Palace of Sport.Monkey Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804161916550923342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-9634129344964354822011-05-22T08:34:07.682-04:002011-05-22T08:34:07.682-04:00All with Morning Call collusion.All with Morning Call collusion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-75680282402791504682011-05-22T08:16:57.642-04:002011-05-22T08:16:57.642-04:00Aside from mayor pulpudski and his minions, I have...Aside from mayor pulpudski and his minions, I have encountered total opposition across the entire city of Allentown.
