    "Sadly it’s not a place that has events. You have to travel to get to those. I wouldn’t even say I live in a community. Just a place to cover my head. "

    "I hate my neighbor hood , I really don’t understand why the rent in Allentown is so expensive . The parking is horrible and the streets are trashed . The houses are too expensive to find a decent house for hard working people . I live across the street from a cemetery. So many churches without there own parking lots that take up our parking and the city does nothing . The schools are awful I have to home school my kids because of the bullying and crime that the school has . People dumping trash in the alley behind our house and I called the city plenty of times and nothing gets done ! Lots of stray cats and mice in our neighborhood and I can’t stand it here anymore."
