From Wikipedia:
Allentown (Pennsylvania Dutch: Allenschteddel, Allenschtadt, or Ellsdaun) is a city in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The city has a population of 125,845 as of the 2020 census. It is the fastest-growing major city in Pennsylvania and the state's third largest city, behind Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. It is the largest city in both Lehigh County and the Lehigh Valley, which has a population of 861,899 and is the 68th most populated metropolitan area in the U.S. as of 2020. Allentown was founded in 1762 and is the county seat of Lehigh County.
Located on the Lehigh River, a 109-mile-long (175 km) tributary of the Delaware River, Allentown is the largest of three adjacent cities (along with Bethlehem and Easton) in Lehigh and Northampton counties that form the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania.
Allentown is located 48 miles (77 km) north of Philadelphia and 78 miles (126 km) west of New York City.
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.
Trexler Park is a nice area to visit,
It's nice little Park.
Awesome drive through Downtown Allentown PA
Live here 18 years retired from Lehigh valley Hospital very wonderful place to work
I’m thinking of moving into this town. Right now I’m in upstate NY and I’ve grown in Lancaster county pa but it’s so expensive so I’ve thought about moving to Allentown and just working at the hospital. I have a lot of experience in that field. Would you say it’s a decent job to work ??
@@mtvslime9564 better hurry before Allentown gets expensive in the next 3 years 😂Allentown is the most developing and fastest in Pennsylvania currently and 3rd largest city and growning this place is prime real estate very soon
@@mtvslime9564Allentown is mini Philly lol. Multiple Shootouts every single night. It's what 69 news talks about everyday for the past couple decades. I live by Clearwater FL now
@@mtvslime9564 Bro it's not a town.
Nice drive in Allentown PA
You made my day haven't been back since the 90's when my family moved, it was so nice seeing it again.
Very cool. It's a very green city with great parks and walks.
Proud to be born and raised in Allentown
Ew 🤮
A wonderful place to live. You lucky!
As a railfan the CNJ or Jersey Central used to run through here back in the day, The station for the road was at Hamilton St along the mainline from Jersey City into Scranton. B&O and Reading RR also used a portion of it towards Bound Brook
Always great videos Mr. Mike. Thank you.
Nice drive
I’ve driven these roads hundreds of times, and I’m still captivated, this was weirdly relaxing, 16:28 in and I don’t want it to end 😭 lol
Broo id rather drive in the highway than there driving with all those bad drivers make me slightly anxious
@@KingDiamondBones Allentown driving is definitely anxiety inducing, lol.. an incredibly frustrating experience, really.. but that shows how soothing the video was .. lol I was enthralled
@@BlendedBeautyXO well still people in allentown drive crazy im scared that in any moment a dude will brakecheck me and I go 120-140 mph on highways people scare me the most
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.
Yes I didn't live too far from there
Used to live on Hamilton Street, it looks nicer than when i left in 2000
Is beuriful
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.
That's my city born and raised....you past my street tho....I live in Illinois now with my wife but that's my childhood and teenage years stompin grounds
I lived in the ancient oaks neighborhood off spring Creek RD and Emmaus through my early teens. Always went through Allentown but never stayed for the day. Just when festivals happen. I live by Clearwater FL now. Born here anyway. Allentown even have a good nightlife scene?
Nice video thank you
Wow I used to live here. You drive through a quiet time. I didn't hear any good Bad Bunny. And that Bodega off America Parkway had some solid food..and the spot by Ridge is the tightest street in Allentown
Yeah it’s heavily dense peak hours in Allentown and music is very live 🔥🔥
@@javonwatkins6924 oh yeah
I live here and haven’t been across the 8th St bridge since it reopened. Don’t often go that way; but it was closed so long we are used to taking different roads.
The loud, horrible music and cars ripping it at red lights tells you everything you need to know about Allentown lmao. There's a reason people from Bethlehem and Easton avoid it like the plague
Facts! I used to deliver for a place in Bethlehem and we'd deliver to Allentown. One night a guy threatened to shoot me because I was having an issue with the customer and his order. It was an alley with no parking lol he could have went around but wanted to argue with me.
I used to make deliveries up and down all those streets
WTH....did anyone else notice the cyclist appear out of thin air at 10:44? It's like watching a Grand Theft Auto game🤣 Why is that funny
Cause he was waiting at the light for a while so he skipped over. Look at the traffic light
I used to live in down town
🥐
Know 42nd 😉
Looks like A-Town finally started cleaning up. Used to be a shit hole. I'm from 8th and Chew and moved out in the 70's.
Allentown has some awesome things going on, but don't hang in center city too long or at night. Bad things await people there!
I live downtown and walk around at night with no problems!
@@david19897 I was probably hanging around the wrong people then.
@@david19897 same i would say the opposite being out late at night in A town. So many random people i've met talking to them like we knew each other our entire life. People in Allentown are very approachable & chill to hang out with.
Sounds like anywhere USA.
0:02 Why no cars?
Sempre confundi com Pennsylvania com Tansylvania..
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.
I legit though Allentown was all woods
No but almost the entire state is.
I see what you mean. The Lehigh Valley does seem lacking compared to the Philly area and I used to hate it when I used to live there years ago………However in retrospect, I kind of appreciate it now since I was able to drive to New York in a relatively short time and thus created lots of good NYC memories
Allentown is baby philly
Allentown is the 3rd largest city in PA. It goes Philly, Pittsburgh then Allentown.
Hello Uzbekistan
I hate driving this, why am I watching it?
I drove it so that you don’t have to 😂
Take the highway bro it’s literally way safer it’s too crowded there with all the weird crackheads
Allentown Is Scary I Have Been Through It Hundreds Of Times I Prefer Easton-Philipsburg Or Bethlehem Or Even New Tripoli
There are absolutely no good looking women left i. Allentown. It's weird as hell. What exactly happened?
