Central PA bartender here. You have a 50/50 chance and should hope for a lenient door person and/or bartender. If anything, make sure you have debit cards or credit cards with your name and probably even your Pitt ID. Good luck and happy early birthday!

Read the last sentence of the first paragraph and notice the word alleged is used. The radius is much more than six blocks. I'll stand by my suggestion of Bethlehem.

The homeless doping up in the Arts Park isn't cool either. I've seen people sitting on the brick walls and nodding off at all hours.

I lived in downtown Allentown, at 6th and Hamilton, from 2018 to 2020. Crime was an issue. The 7/11 is a known drug dealing spot, as is the bus station. I agree that there are a lot of homeless people, too. To me, if I had gunshots coming through my downtown "luxury" apartment wall a couple weeks ago, that'd tell me there's a crime problem.

Oh....and Bethlehem is only 15-20 minutes from Allentown.

I lived downtown Allentown in a Strata apartment building for two years. DO NOT live in Allentown or anywhere within the city limits. The crime is out of control. While living there, we had a bombing three blocks away. My friend that lives downtown just had two gunshots go through her apartment walls a few weeks ago. That was an officer involved shooting where the shooter was killed. You can easily research both these cases, as well as check out the daily crime report. These are crimes happening in the alleged nicest part of Allentown.

I strongly suggest you consider Bethlehem, which is much safer and overall nicer. The Southside is up and coming, as well as adjacent to Lehigh University.

That is not true.

Why was she carrying, and was it her issued firearm? This was 100% not handled correctly!

Very cool and educational list. As someone born and living in the Commonwealth, I'd like to renounce both Will Smith and Dan Cortes.

I can smell this picture.

Very hopeful that he finally gets exposed, realizes he's only a pawn, loses his office and ends up in jail!

Very good point!

Toomey has benefits for life and doesn't care about anyone else. This was his last fuck you.

So an already over-worked and pissed-off police department is now gonna worry about kids? Nah.....more like if a juvy commits a crime after hours they could tack this on.

The arrogance.....

The housing crisis will drive the tech anywhere more affordable. Honestly.....you are asking six brilliant minds to share an apartment blocks away from MIT.

Your real estate, and superiority, will crash!

Has anyone involved in the project been to AMS or understand the 1000+ year old history of the city? AC should be burned to the ground if they're serious.......just start over.

Dirty Frank's is what you're looking for. Cheap and lots to drink.

Is this why we can't have nice things? This is why we can't have nice things.
