Seconding this as a Lehigh Valley native. There's a lot to see and do in the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton area, and it's a lovely region.

I grew up there too, from the early 1970s through the early 2000s north of Fogelsville and I agree with you. Fascinating area with a lot of great industrial history.

However, I'd urge OP to go see the region before developers finish covering it all over with warehousing with the full approval of economic development guys and naive township supervisors who can't figure out when enough is enough.

My best bet would be to take the bus to Allentown. I want to visit New Hope too but I guess driving is the option that makes the most sense
