December 5, 201311 yr Very impressed with Easton and see many similarities with York PA. Did not expect it to be that nice!
December 6, 201311 yr Just like Ohio's Easton, except without an Crate & Barrel. That one art deco skyscraper in Allentown is impressive, especially how it towers above everything else.
December 6, 201311 yr Easton is clearly the gem of that whole valley. Allentown's tallest is always a treat too (as is Dorney Park!). "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
December 21, 201311 yr I love Easton, PA. Lots of great history there. And I can't believe Allentown doesn't have a passenger rail link to Philly anymore, or to NYC via Easton. NJT has planned an extension of its Raritan Valley service to Easton and then possibly to Allentown, but a certain governor hasn't backed it. Also, I gotta say that NJT has gold-plated the plan which hasn't helped get the trains extended.

December 22, 201311 yr Nice! FYI Easton PA vs. Allentown NJ (just across the Delaware over that cool bridge) is one of the great high school football rivalries. 107 years old.
