My best advice for somebody moving to Allentown is that they should not move to Allentown.

edit to add: some loser keeps trying to reply to me talking about how great Allentown is, but his comment doesn't show unless I look at his profile or in my email, so I'll add this: Allentown is a shithole and the only reason anyone would ever WANT to live there is because they work in Allentown, but even then, they'll probably try to leave ASAP because they will quickly discover that Allentown is indeed a shithole.

Attempting to insult my intelligence or knowledge of Allentown is pointless because despite being German born, I have several generations of ancestors and relatives from ALLLLLLL over the Lehigh Valley. They all agree that Allentown is a shithole which is why all of them left ASAP.

If you really want to live in the Lehigh Valley you should avoid Allentown at all costs unless you live in poverty. I would drive an extra 30 minutes to work if I had to just to avoid living in Allentown. There are plenty of MUCH nicer towns and cities in the Lehigh Valley.

I agree with you, driving through Pennsylvania's mountains is very beautiful especially border to border on route 80. Having said that, I disagree with you about upstate new york. The Hudson River Valley is a very beautiful drive as are several other parts of New York with rolling Hills. I'm glad you enjoyed the drive and had a safe trip through our beautiful state.

you might want to do a little more reading about your reality tv star: https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/news/20220505/columbia-cuts-ties-dr-oz

​

In 2015, when he testified before the Senate about his endorsement of “miracle” cures, a group of medical professionals sent a letter to Columbia that demanded that Oz be fired, according to Vox.

“Dr. Oz has repeatedly shown disdain for science and for evidence-based medicine, as well as baseless and relentless opposition to the genetic engineering of food crops,” the doctors wrote. “Worst of all, he has manifested an egregious lack of integrity by promoting quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain.”

I have my big boy pants on, I would suggest you put on your old man reading glasses.

I don't care if Fetterman's stroke was so bad that he can't count higher than 2 or wipe his own ass. There's no way in hell I'm voting for a reality tv star who made his money shilling snake oil supplements and pushing pseudoscience. They could 'Weekend at Bernie's' John Fetterman and his corpse would still get my vote.

I know you came here seeking answers to questions, but now I have questions for you: do cities in Indiana Annex their suburbs in the same way that a lot of cities west of the Mississippi do? The greatest example that I can give is Phoenix arizona. Phoenix is the fastest growing city in america, or at least one of them, but not because people keep moving there, it's because they keep annexing surrounding suburbs. That is something that does not happen in the northeast. So when you look at population density of American cities you will notice that the Northeast has some crazy density and the Southwest has almost none.

And to make an attempt at answering your question, some of those small townships are actually considered villages.
