It was in fact, affectionately referred to as “the wall”.Lil Barnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-40856738540347927322015-06-25T09:54:21.475-04:002015-06-25T09:54:21.475-04:00We KNOW the Morning Call reads this blog for story...We KNOW the Morning Call reads this blog for story ideas. It WILL take a wider audience than here to discuss this issue. Could make for a lively discussion, although the Morning Call Comments section is poorly utilized. Mostly the same dozen people(including a few kooks)take the time to offer an opinion. I no longer bother to post there.<br /><br />If a discussion on the Morning Call did take root, and it criticizes city officials too much, particularly the Mayor, the story will be quickly buried. But, most of the right people will have read the comments the same day they appear. Some might be motivated to change their ways.<br /><br />Fred WindishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-56937838269095258702015-06-25T08:19:05.187-04:002015-06-25T08:19:05.187-04:00@8:03, there is a facebook page entitled, WPA L...@8:03, there is a facebook page entitled, WPA Lehigh Valley Save Our Structures, if people would share the page on their page, it would increase awarenessmichael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-28061563352765588412015-06-25T08:03:37.513-04:002015-06-25T08:03:37.513-04:00Mike

You have provided a viable solution in design. But, look at that greenery!<br /><br />Allentown's once admired public spaces have really been neglected. Very few places under the management of the city look inviting at all. Between all the tumbling hardscape, the idiotic riparian buffer weeds running through key sections of stream view, unkempt plantings, and shoddy mowing, the city looks uninviting. This 'look' can be seen elsewhere in our travels. You know, destinations like Newark, Camden, and Bridgeport.<br /><br />Allentown can always use more money for such needs, sure. It also needs a sense of CIVIC PRIDE outside of Seventh & Hamilton. The PRIDE part can be had free!<br /><br />Fred Windish Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
