Anyone know places in the bethlehem/allentown area that are abandoned? Me and my friends are always bored and want stuff to do

Depending on how far you're willing to travel, Concrete City outside of Nanticoke is an awesome spot

The Johnston Mansion is Bethlehem is also pretty good. You can't really get into too many of the buildings, though. Some cool ruined out buildings, though

Ironton Rail Trail is my favorite. For the entry closest to the abandoned stuff, take 145 N out past the mall and turn left at the Sheetz. There's a big barn on the left down that road with parking. Follow the trail over the stream and turn left. There is a lot to see within a few steps of the trail, but if you get a little adventurous, it is really good.

Also, in Macungie, there are ruins where they have the bluebell field. Lots of nice crumbling concrete. And Johnston Estate in Bethlehem.
