Allentown, Pennsylvania, or the "Silk City" as it used to be referred to commonly, is the third most populous city in the state of Pennsylvania. Right behind the cities of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. It's a quaint little town that's a nice place to visit and take a vacation from your hectic Burlington Ontario lawyer lifestyle. If you plan on making a trip down to Allentown, then you might want to know a little about it before doing so.

That's why we're going to give a bit of information about Allentown and the communities that make up Allentown. There aren't any official borders in the neighborhoods of Allentown which means that some of them may geographically overlap. So, while you might be asking for directions for a boutique to shop for Sophia Tolli wedding dresses in one community, you might actually already be there.

Allentown is made up of five main communities. They are Center City, East Side, South Side, The Wards and West End. Each one of these communities are made up their own unique neighborhoods. Center City is the downtown district of Allentown and is also home to 7th street which is Allentown's fastest growing residential section. It's also been attracting a lot of artists to the area recently which means you will find a lot of screenwriters using their Final Draft online collaboration tool there. Center City is where you would go to get a bit of historical Allentown information as it's home to The Old Allentown Historic District.

East Side is mainly a residential area home to such neighborhoods as Dutch Hill or Midway Manor where larger homes can be found. South Side is home to the Queen City Airport as well as local businesses. The main attraction that will soon make up The Wards is Allentown's waterfront district. While it won't be open until 2010, it's a great place for any Orillia catering employee vacationing Allentown to visit. The waterfront will include a marina, a walking path, new condos and apartments, a bridge and an amphitheater, among many other attractions.

Finally, the last Allentown community, West End is home to two of Allentown's finest neighborhoods. The West End Theatre District and the West Park Historic District. These two areas are home to a variety of attractions such as musical venues, boutique shops and the Allentown Farmer's Market where you can sell your scrap gold rings collection.
