Allentown
Lehigh Valley hub
Allentown is a city in eastern Pennsylvania, the state's third-largest.
It sits in the Lehigh Valley, historically a center of steel and manufacturing.
Billy Joel's 1982 song "Allentown" made the city a symbol of American industrial decline: They're closing all the factories down in Allentown.
