Sad to say the mayor who started all this is locked up in jail.. 47 of 54 charges into allegations of pay-to-play politics in Allentown City Hall. The judge has since dismissed and the prosecution has dropped a combined nine charges. *And let's just say they cover up crimes, violence,drugs ect what happens in the area of the "Arena"!! Stays in the area of the "Arena" I lived here my whole life..we all know what goes on even if 69news and mcall don't wanna film it 🙄😑

Over 27% of Allentown is at or below the poverty line. Yes Allentown is growing at an alarming rate. That's great, but I am very upset about how they are treating their population of poor and homeless. Not everyone in Allentown is upper middle-class and white. It's actually quite the opposite most of Allentown is poor and Puerto Puerto Rican Hispanic. What they show in the video is what they want you to see, not what really is. The people who can frequent the places on this video do not live in Allentown. Didn't you hear you can't make the poor disappear you can only "hide" them.

I’m Puerto Rican and I make a six-figure income. I worked my ass, built a solid resume and went to college and so did my wife. We can’t always expect the world to hold our hands and help us. You can either complain or move past whatever negativity, obstacles, and hardships you’re facing and keep going. The time will pass anyways. Today might suck but if you keep going, tomorrow will be better and the day after that will be even better.

YupLenialville! Clearly designed for the percentage that can afford to enjoy such renovation. The rest of the city, they can't donate so they don't get! Noting one comment that mentions AC, this is different. Those people living outside AC actually contribute either via gambling or working. Here, I'm sure the grand renovations were paid for by outside money and I truly wonder how many local residents work within that district? Go to any event at the PPL Center. Look around at the crowd. Nuff said. I know my pockets would hurt if I bought anything from the shops in the ARTS WALK section. ...but Hey, its all open to the public!!

Well we're living here in Allentown And they're closing all the factories down Out in Bethlehem they're killing time Filling out forms Standing in line Well our fathers fought the Second World War Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore Met our mothers in the USO Asked them to dance Danced with them slow And we're living here in Allentown But the restlessness was handed down And it's getting very hard to stay Well we're waiting here in Allentown For the Pennsylvania we never found For the promises our teachers gave If we worked hard If we behaved So the graduations hang on the wall But they never really helped us at all No they never taught us what was real Iron and coal And chromium steel And we're waiting here in Allentown But they've taken all the coal from the ground And the union people crawled away Every child has a pretty good shot To get at least as far as their old man got But something happened on the way to that place They threw an American flag in our place Well I'm living here in Allentown And it's hard to keep a good man down But I won't be giving up today And we're living here in Allentown

The improvements are amazing and have truly breathed new life into the city. That "what about the rest of the city" attitude is ridiculous. What about it? It looks the same as before. Did you really expect developers to raze the entire city and start over? Silly.

This is probably what that attitude means: you are building, but for the majority there is still little opportunity .think of how many people will still choose to leave and live elsewhere in search of a better quality of life. its an amazing change, but if i'm a person still struggling it doesn't mean much to me. hopefully, more jobs come with this growth. =)

do believe in the spirit of hard work and never giving up, but I also believe in putting yourself in the best surroundings for you to win. whether you want to hear it or not, some people do not want to wait for a allentown, lancaster, erie, reading, etc to change. and yes i have found more opportunity. all of them have been outside of pennsylvania and my hometown of nyc. redeveloping can mean change and cleaning house. my cleaning house has brought me to dallas. we agree to disagree. =)

Who is growing and who is not going and who is the longest small business and who is not the smaller business just gone especially that everyone should know this every Americans and different people are speaking different language have to have both sides to be a responsibility communicate with each other for some time communication if could be some difficult but everyone knows that everyone needs to bring a translation and everyone knows that their names that are there not like the American name still from different of a country names that are for generation of a family of a legacy fund a path to that pricing and to be respectful for the future it is because sometimes if a bully picking on the little guys and sometimes that little guys did not have the chance and we didn't want to have a positive way for the future and the future like someone have this table and just corruption that is not good right there at until it supposed to be working together as a big family to be responsibility but I'll leave you of a choice that whoever you are whatever you do and what kind of growing business and buy car groin responsibility and my kind of growing of something of a positive fun kindness joyful loving and some loved ones as well that for marriage family and children for the future of anyone but I need U of a choice right now that I don't know you you don't know me I Leave You of a choice PS I'm just a handicap in you don't know me and I know you so let's have to be a responsibility to working for all different people different language and a different of a smaller business to half of a growing up something for the future of to expand especially that I speak of both language and you don't but most of you that are speaking both language or even possible the language then you have to have a greater family you got in a greater generation of a biggest Legacy ever but this is only that the people are speaking just to language or three language you are the future to keep a positive way but the people are not speaking like not get along each other well they're not the future don't listen to other brothers try to be of a positive way the way you are just to make sure that you have a great of a positive way and my kind of anyone to have responsibility to stay focused on to the future of Allentown
