It’s largely pointless. I’ll never carry open and when I see someone do it( or even worse carrying it tucked in to the pants/waist band), they are exactly the type of person you want to avoid if they start to actually shoot.

The homeless doping up in the Arts Park isn't cool either. I've seen people sitting on the brick walls and nodding off at all hours.

He was referencing a Billy Joel song called Allentown. His comment was made up lyrics from the song.

I lived in downtown Allentown, at 6th and Hamilton, from 2018 to 2020. Crime was an issue. The 7/11 is a known drug dealing spot, as is the bus station. I agree that there are a lot of homeless people, too. To me, if I had gunshots coming through my downtown "luxury" apartment wall a couple weeks ago, that'd tell me there's a crime problem.

More Moms4liberty trash. Don’t forget to find your local loons on Facebook and fight them on their strip mall for profit religious crank yanker charter school bs too.

I never had an issue with crime when I lived in Allentown, but the homeless were a problem as well as litter everywhere.

Also, no parking.

My mom and a couple other church moms got my science teacher to skip the evolution chapter in a town of about 1,200

It’s ok though, I learned it anyway

It’s tabloid trash

Ha!

Agreed

I don’t think that was accurate now or 20 years ago.

This is the statute that allows for limited statewide jurisdiction for municipal police officer (Philly PD is a municipal PD). There are no special carve outs for Philly or first class cities.

Depends on location. Center city may be rough. The burbs are nice but also it can be a drive to get to stuff. Maybe consider Bethlehem or Fountain Hill in your search as well.

This is what happens when administrations constantly yank back and forth on serious agencies we need. No political party should be allowed to say- let’s protect the super rich instead of water

Republicans constantly get people to vote against their own damn water and clean dirt and soils in their yards to garden.

Depends on where you live. Some areas of Allentown are…interesting. From experience, the Cedar Crest and Tilghman Street sections are pretty nice areas. There are plenty of shopping centers and places to go. Allentown has a lot around it and it has been really developed over the years. I’d say the Cedar Crest area is quite safe and relatively nice. If you’re looking to live outside the city, the areas of Lower Macungie and Emmaus are not bad areas. There’s not much there compared to Allentown, but it’s certainly “safe,” in my opinion.

Additionally, if you are okay with commuting, Bethlehem is always a great option. I currently live in Bethlehem and I love it here. Bethlehem has a ton of restaurants, historical sites, parks, shopping centers, and is smack dabbed next to Allentown. The North and West side are certainly safe areas and right off route 22, the highway that brings you right through Allentown.

Satan out here doin god's work.

I thought it was mandatory for every Lehigh Valley resident to know that song by heart

40ish minutes? Your options vary WILDLY. You’re looking at anything from like Hamburg to Penn Argyl, Pennsburg, New Jersey to probably Quakertown. Urban to suburban to rural to extremely rural.

These are the same people that threw a fit when school prayer was finally outlawed.

Rules for thee but not for me!

Oh....and Bethlehem is only 15-20 minutes from Allentown.

I lived downtown Allentown in a Strata apartment building for two years. DO NOT live in Allentown or anywhere within the city limits. The crime is out of control. While living there, we had a bombing three blocks away. My friend that lives downtown just had two gunshots go through her apartment walls a few weeks ago. That was an officer involved shooting where the shooter was killed. You can easily research both these cases, as well as check out the daily crime report. These are crimes happening in the alleged nicest part of Allentown.

I strongly suggest you consider Bethlehem, which is much safer and overall nicer. The Southside is up and coming, as well as adjacent to Lehigh University.

Walking distance, do you have your license to carry?

I for one wish the club was actually about satanic worship. These knuckleheads that were calling in threats don’t even realize it had zero to do with that. It would take all of 30 seconds to google what the club is about. Anyway I hope this club comes back and most importantly hail satan.

Philadelphians are jagoffs.

Klan, too.

Learned it in an Intro to Criminal Justice class about 20 years ago. May be outdated information.

I grew up before the internet. I'm more accustomed to relying on memory than anything else.
