Growing up during the early 1950's in Little Lehigh Manor, aka Lehigh Parkway, aka The Parkway was kiddie city. Most of us were born in the mid to late 1940's, children of WW2 veterans. I don't recall one house without children. Everyone had friends, even the maladjusted.
In addition to friends, I also had cousins. I had an aunt and uncle on both Lehigh Parkway South and 17th St.SW. Siblings of my mother, the whole family lived in the Parkway. I can tell from Facebook groups that my affinity for the neighborhood is commonplace.
I expect that those growing up in Midway Manor and other Allentown neighborhoods of that era share similar emotions. I know that my father's generation stayed connected to their youth in the Ward. Likewise, today's Allentown youth will cherish their memories.
