I grew up in the Lehigh Valley (Lowhill Township) and remember the 1970s when Upper Macungie hadn't yet been paved over with warehouses.

Now I live in the Poconos and they've begun bulldozing the woods for them here too.

I really, really hate what eastern PA has become and am looking to move somewhere far north without them.

I'm from one of the neighboring townships that recently got its first warehouses, and I've seen a lot of yard signs in Lowhill opposing the warehouses.

Lowhill has just over 2,000 people in 14 square miles and my family still lives there.

It's still a fairly rural, really hilly township and even now has no 4-lane roads, not even Route 100 and just one traffic light at an awkward-angled intersection and no police department.

Warehouses have no business there.
