What's the Vibe on North 8th Street Between Hamilton and Chew at Night?

7 Upvotes

I'm looking at a beautiful historic home for sale on North 8th Street, and was wondering what that area is like after dark? I plan on walking it myself, but figured that you guys will know a whole lot more than I can determine in a few visits. It was built by an ancestor, so my interest in the property is pretty strong.

Is it safe to walk to and from Hamilton, say after a concert at Archer? I know it's a city, and stuff happens everywhere, looking more for what the consistent experience is like...

The architecture up and down that street is so beautiful, but not sure the investment is worthwhile if the neighborhood would be an immediate long term problem. I saw a house across the way had a backyard full of 4-wheelers, which was an immediate red flag.

Thanks for your input!

City Center Apartments??

8 Upvotes

Hi! I’m 26F and looking to move to Allentown (I work nearby and this is the closest “big city”) and I wanted some feedback on the city center apartments… maybe specifically hive/standard? Do people have good experiences here? Is there somewhere else I should be looking?

Help us get my girlfriend out of an abusive household

0 Upvotes

I'm hoping it's okay to post this here since my girlfriend and I are looking to move into a two-bedroom apartment or house somewhere around the Allentown/Quakertown area.

My girlfriend is 23 and recently graduated college. She moved back in with her mother after graduating, and unfortunately the situation at home has become increasingly emotionally and financially abusive. She deals with constant verbal insults, arguments, controlling behavior, and approximately $400 being taken from every paycheck to cover loans that aren't hers and aren't in her name.

She's genuinely afraid of her mother coming home because of how bad the verbal abuse becomes, and she's reached the point where she'll lock herself in her room just to get away from it.

I'm 24 and have lived on my own for several years. We both work, and together we're confident that we can afford our rent and bills once we're established. The problem is getting enough saved for the upfront costs of moving.

I currently live in a run-down one-bedroom apartment, so having her move in with me isn't really an option. We also have two cats, Flake and Richard, and a turtle named Tuck who are coming with us.

We're trying to raise $8,000 to cover the initial costs of getting into a place, including the first and last month's rent, security deposit, moving truck and supplies, utilities, basic necessities, and some emergency cushion.

We're not looking for someone to support us indefinitely. We just need help getting over the initial financial hurdle so we can get her out of an unhealthy living situation and establish a home together.

If anyone is willing to donate, we'd be incredibly grateful. If you can't donate, even sharing the fundraiser would help tremendously.

Wellness + social

3 Upvotes

Hiiii 💗 I wanted to share something I’ve been working on for the Lehigh Valley. I’m putting together Camp Casa Rosa on October 25th from 12-2pm at cedar beach park pavilion is a little Pilates + beauty + wellness afternoon designed to be just as much about meeting new girls and having a cute day together as it is about the workout.

It’ll be a 45-minute outdoor mat Pilates class (beginner friendly), plus beauty/wellness moments, activities, refreshments, goodies, and a few surprises 🥹🎀

I know going to things alone can sometimes feel awkward, so I really wanted this to be the kind of event where coming by yourself is completely normal and you can actually leave having met people.

Just wanted to share in here in case this sounds like your kind of Sunday 💕 If anyone wants the details, I’m happy to send them!

It would be helpful if they have delivery or somehow I could get a ride. I don't know how that works. But I'm on Disability and I can't keep living off of Wawa food. It's so expensive.
Thank you in advance!
