I think Allentown was affected more by the closure of steel mills than the construction of I-78- why live in the city center if there aren't any more jobs there

I think Allentown was affected more by the closure of steel mills than the construction of I-78- why live in the city center if there aren't any more jobs there than elsewhere.
- baldfat 9y agoThe funny thing is Billy Joel's song about the jobs actually wasn't Allentown but Bethlehem. There were plenty of jobs just not Bethlehem Steel jobs. Today it is a casino (I hate Casinos) and some art and public TV studios. Bethlehem has and is doing fine. Allentown's demographic shift was huge to where 75%+ of the students are of Latino heritage and 90% qualify for free Federal Lunch Program in Allentown School District. The hate is real against everything Allentown.
