Allentown Chronicles is a collection of thirty-six posts from Molovinsky On Allentown. It is not the usual sepia toned photographs from 1900. It contains none of the canned wikipedia summations found in other Allentown history books.
It is mostly my memories from the 1950's. Early summer mornings sitting in my father's old station wagon on the way to his meat market, waiting for long freight trains to pass by Union Street. Many of the posts mention those rail tracks, which tied Allentown's post war prosperity together.
Allentown certainly isn't the same. The car radios are much louder now with a different music. There's litter in the streets, but I still remember times past.. My hope is that a few of these posts remind you of your childhood in Allentown.
