    Historic old city, good density, and lots of interesting architectural gems. The city has a very big urban footprint / downtown relative to the population size.

    missed my favorite hidden detail of Allentown. if you take S 4th street south until it ends, the take MLK Jr Drive, it takes you along this nice scenic natural area along the Little Lehigh Creek. nice bit of nature in the otherwise very urban area. (don't try the google street view of it, it's messed up. looks like the googlemobile got into an accident or something.)
    oh, and Dorney Park, of course.

    In the 1960s II lived at 4th at Tilhgman (spelling) when I worked and Hess’s and Zollingers in the display department. Allot has changed since then and Hamilton St has lost its downtown appeal and become use another street. Now I live in the Pacific Northwest in Longview WA after a career in theatre. Got my start as Allentown’s Civic Theatre and the Municipal Opera company. thanks for the memories.

    You should have been there in the mid 70s. Was a great place to be a kid. I don't remember the street but we lived directly across the street from the Masonic temple and about 75 yards from West park. Back then the park had live music on the weekends.
    Now it probably has live drug dealers and dead hookers.
