Hi Everyone! I just got a job in Allentown and am planning to move there soon. I am looking for apartments. Any recommendations about apartments, neighbourhoods, etc are welcome!

Hi guys, I just got offered a job in Allentown and I’d like to get your advice! My boyfriend and I will be moving across the country from a significantly larger city. We are both mid twenties and very sociable people that love just about everything. We will be looking for apartments too so any advice there will be put to good use! Thanks!

I have called the non emergency 911 on these people so many times and i'm not even sure if an officer came out each time. They keep blasting music with this giant ass boombox outside all hours of the day and night. weekends, weekdays. it doesn't matter. And god forbid theres a holiday they wanna blast this ish all day long.

The volume is literally, and i'm not even joking, club volumed. like its so loud if i wanna talk to anyone in my own house i have to shout to speak to them. INSIDE...MY...OWN...HOUSE. And whenever they wanna talk to each other you know what they do? They turn down the f**king music so low i can barely hear it and all i hear is them talking to each other. Then when their two minute conversation is over then turn it right back up again. so basically they can turn it down to talk to each other but the rest of neighborhood isn't allowed to talk to anyone in their own house without shouting.

I don't watch tv on tv anymore. i stream on my computer and i kid you not i HAVE TO, like i literally HAVE TO play any sound on my computer through my speaker to only kinda hear any show i am watching. And ON MAX VOLUME. And its still hard to hear whatever i am watching. like what is wrong with these people? I've told them more than once over the years to turn it down. and the music goes down for that day but only at that time only, then its right back up again.

I have so much rage for these people. like i fantasy about doing bad things to them, but then i remember i ain't built for jail. I can't fight. So please someone can you tell me what can i do to stop this madness. i don't like thinking negatively or violently. it goes against my nature.

What else can i do besides call the non emergency number because these people won't stop. we don't live in a rich area, so i think making them pay really high fines would be the only way to stop them, but apparently the police won't do that.

Developers meet with allentown planning commission tonight @ 5:30 pm city council chambers (435 hamilton)

****WE NEED YOU TO SHOW UP!!*****

The Allentown Planning Commission will hear from the developers for the 2401 W Emaus Ave project and also from US! We need to show them that we care, that we will continue to show up, and don't want this in our neighborhood.

Y'all, I have seen the plans for this project. 36 diesel back up generators. A huge brand new power substation. Cooling and air conditioning units running 24/7 next to the building. Trucking WATER in on a regular basis (so that they don't have to take water from our already drought ridden community). THAT WATER COMES FROM SOMEWHERE.

I have heard the developers speak about this data center. They want you to believe that it will be 'good' for the community, that they will be a better neighbor to us than any other business that would take up residence at this location. They want you to believe that this data center is just like any other, one that MIGHT be used for the storage of health network data, or some other 'reasonable justification', WHEN THEY HAVE NEVER STATED WHAT DATA THIS CENTER WOULD HOLD. As a matter of fact, we've been asking. Not once have they shared who the proposed user of this data center would be. Not once have they shared what kind of data will be stored here.

The fact that they can apply for this project without literally any further testing (like traffic studies, air pollution studies, water usage studies) is absolutely appalling. Lets demand what is owed to us as a community-

-unbiased projections of just how much this will cost and effect our community in the long run. Extensive studies for water, noise, energy, and environmental impacts before even allowing this proposal to continue.

-WHO WOULD BE THE USER(S) OF THIS DATA CENTER?

PLEASE- we need you to show up. If you care, show up for your neighborhood, your city, your community, your neighbors, your children.

AC stopped cooling this morning. i believe its the capacitor. Specifically Titan Pro TRCF45. Ive went to some of the big stores ( HD, Ace, Tractor) and no one has it. ive reached out to a couple of hvac shops and so far no one is willing to just sell the part. Im sorry for reaching out here but im a bit exhausted from all the running around. Please and Thank you in advance.

Still awesome tickets available up until show starts!!

PLEASE SHOW UP

Fighting for what you want is good. Being in your emotions is not.

If you are upset, angry, anxious, frustrated or in fear about the proposed data centers in Allentown or Whitehall, or about literally anything else happening in the world -- you're out of control and NOT in your power.

I teach classes for activists in Allentown & all of Lehigh Valley.

One of them is called Triggered! Where I teach you how to process your emotions in a healthy way, so you get into your power.

I also have a classes on Healing Your Smartphone Addiction.

And other related trainings. Because it's NOT just about the DATA CENTERS, there are a lot of issues going on these days and they're all connected.

Get aligned with truth so you can actually make a positive difference in this world, rather than going around in circles, and getting no where.

Please message me if you can help in anyway

I just moved to Allentown and I am looking for a VBS program for this summer. My daughter is 4. We are Catholic. Thank you!

Anyone else see downtown allentown's new marketing propaganda?

Look, I understand that you are trying to "fix up" downtown, but this is straight up delusional.

If I had to pick 3 words to describe downtown allentown, these would NOT be it.

I think we need to have a discussion about having INTEGRITY when marketing.

There is a big fire in Allentown. Someone said it’s a furniture store or something like that. I hope everyone is safe and got out okay.

Our ordinance should require traffic and transportation studies and then implementation plans for ensuring transportation is not disrupted

ENVIRONMENTAL/WATER:

Our ordinance should provide specifics on the size, interval, and types of plants for a landscape buffer

Our ordinance should require that data center applicants submit an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) that would show all the possible environmental impacts of the data centers and solutions for all the identified problems. These issues include things like air quality, soil quality, surface water quality, groundwater sources, impacts on wildlife including endangered & threatened species, and increased temperatures around the data center.

Our ordinance should require water usage reports to be done and transparent to the public

ENERGY:

Our ordinance should have strict rules and requirements for how much of the energy used should be from renewable energy sources

Our ordinance should require electricity usage reports to be done and transparent to the public

Our ordinance should have strict regulations around backup generators and emissions, like rules around meeting emission standards, when generators should be used and tested, and how fuel is stored and prevented from spilling

It's nice to see Allentown growing again as Google Earth shows . Now if they can only get that pencil Tower built , the lone Tower landmark will have company of equal size 😊 Allentown deserves a decent skyline. Not necessarily super tall , but a nice clustering of mid Rises , a modest Skyline like Newark. It's already starting to take shape when you see Allentown from a distance .
