Please don't be offended by my critique that every restaurant is "ethnic" that is an automatic assmption that doesn't have to be mentioned. Whether one is referring to an Irish breakfast, British breakfast, or Chinese breakfast they're all "ethnic". Some entitled individuals ie: "those who call and categorize themselves as "Non-Hispanic Whites" have used the term in the past in a demeaning disparaging way towards minority groups and their food and culture as being "ethnic". Such language isn't used in the North Eastern United States especially in the Mid-Atlantic States.
@@johnhartnett3629 Thank you for your response and comment on the video. It is never my intention to demean and disparage anyone. I am married to an immigrant so I’m a usually very mindful of the use of language. But sometimes (obviously) I miss. Thank you as well for watching the video. I appreciate it.
I live in eastern ,pa. Born and raised in western , pa. Lived in Jersey, NYC. Eastern Pa is beautiful and jobs are plentiful. Great healthcare and schools also. Alot of activities to do indoor /outdoor.
Hello there, I've lived here all my life, if you need any info or just want to know anything you may not find looking up research on just ask as I seen it all over the last 60 years. for the last 12 years Allentown has been trying to figure out a way to get Amtrak to pick-up passengers and run them to NYC and Philly as many attempts have failed at organizing a solution to do so, February of 2024 Scranton has broke ground at doing this. Yes, it's true Pennsylvania is known as the Keystone State as well as the Quaker State which means Oil state given in History Pennsylvania founded Oil before any other State in America, Not Texas as so many people believe. The Great Lehigh Valley is known as a Steel City because of Bethlehem Steel but what you may not know is that it's more known as a Railroading City as there is so much Railroading History here than any other state in the United States. the Lehigh Valley area alone had at one time 32 different Railroads all coming here between a 40 year gap. Great example of this is the 8th street bridge which most think was built for cars Nope Philidelphia Trolley lines built the 8th street bridge for their Trolley cars, there are still areas around that you can find and see in-person the old forgotten history as you just need to know where to look. "Eagle Point" gives you a great view of what's in the Lehigh Valley.
I and my family moved to Orefield Pa 2 years and a few months ago from Long Island, NY. I asked a friend from Nazareth, what it's like here, like apple to pears? He said more like apples to pretzels. It's pretty here. But, for me it's been hard to get used to the pace of living. Especially work related, much slower. We came here for school for our son at Parkland High school. We are trying to take advantage of all the resources here. We have checked out many places in the valley, Camp Hill and Levittown. I miss the beaches and trains on Long Island,and the ease of getting to the City not the taxes.Will see. It's hard to negate the benefits of retiring here.
Welcome to the area. I’m not a city dweller and never have been so i can’t speak to the transition out of a metropolis like LI. But it really is a great place to raise and educate kids. If you are in need of a realtor, please let me know. I’m happy to help.
@@rubicondon04 Sorry, I meant to say a classic or antique car. I have a Model A and in NY it had to be registered and inspected every year. In PA you only do it once when you register it/buy it.
@@brianmatthews9697 Ohh,, Yes Pennsylvania is really good about classic and antique automobiles. The other big thing is that I don't think was mentioned, retirement income, SS IRA or other pensions are not taxed for retired persons over age 62.
We lived in flat, boring areas and also near the beaches of the Gulf Coast of Florida.. Eastern Pa. is well rounded and beautiful. Our place of choice...anytime.
@@misfortuneteller24 I hear you! I remember when 22 used to get backed up at MacArthur Road. Then they re-worked that on-ramp and the back ups now occur at Airport Road and the 22/33 interchange. I’ve lived a lot of different places in my life and traffic is a problem everywhere!
We also have a local income tax that other states do not. And nearly the highest gas tax in the nation. Only public transportation is buses. No legal recreational marijuana either.
@jobifretz5203-when I got my first job here after moving, I looked at my paycheck and said “what is LST (local service tax)”. My boss told me that it was the privilege of working in Easton! LOL
@JohnCarter-We only visit Philly for the tourist attractions when we have visitors. It’s a nice one-day visit and then come back here to the Valley where life is quiet and the air is clean.

@@BernieLomax-g8j Thank you for your kind offer. I might just take you up on that! Your name sounds vaguely familiar. Were you in local politics?
I recently moved to Eastern PA. (3 years ago) First to Bethlehem then bought a house in Allentown. I'd love to chat and discuss my review. lol
@@TheFlyingHambone Let’s talk! Book a call with me and we’ll meet online. I’d love to hear your story of how you got to Eastern PA!
I was born and raised in Allentown and now live in southeast NJ. I would move back to Allentown in a heartbeat if I could.
@@karenrhoda2125 I hope you do! Allentown is truly up and coming. And of course, all the small towns around it are great too.

One addition, If you own an old car in PA, you only register it once. Also, no annual inspection. I left NY 11 years ago and I really like it here.
Brian, this is good to know. While I’ve had “older” cars, maybe they just weren’t old enough!
What? I have an old pickup truck 1990. It must be inspected & registered every year

@@williamsaloka9043 Me too. I have lived in VA, CA, IN, IL, KY and overseas. I think “well-rounded” is a great way to describe us here.
I just don't want more people to move here because traffic has been getting insane over the last 15 years

Dear out of staters,
Pennsylvania is full. Please go somewhere else!

@@eathecommie My parents just left Idaho and native Idahoans feel the exact same way!
Why did you tell people to get into the Lehigh? People have been swept out to sea trying to swim in that river near Easton.
Groceries and clothing and supplements are tax free? Where?
Lehigh County population is 29% Hispanic. Allentown is 54% Hispanic.
We also have a local income tax that other states do not. And nearly the highest gas tax in the nation. Only public transportation is buses. No legal recreational marijuana either.

Love U ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
none of these are issues. the only problem is the poor road condition.
@@desongliu6463 Poor roads are definitely an issue.
Taxes and filthy Philadelphia are reasons not to move there!
@JohnCarter-We only visit Philly for the tourist attractions when we have visitors. It’s a nice one-day visit and then come back here to the Valley where life is quiet and the air is clean.
Eastern Pa. Yes! Lehigh Valley, NO!!!
@@PerlGirl-xc8kb Where else would you like to live in Eastern PA?
@@CynderellaSells I live in the Philly burbs and I’m good. Have no desire to move elsewhere.
boring 😞 useless info......can get this info on my own 😊
