Recently, the editorial staff at molovinsky on allentown was speculating on Lights In The Parkway, and the bottle neck created by the closing of the 15th Street Bridge. Traffic, for the most part, is now being handled by the 188 year old Schreibers Bridge. Normally, during the Lights season, traffic backs up on the historic stone arch. Before we proceed with this story, two points must be made. I consider the rusting away of the 15th Street bridge negligence by Mayor Pawlowski, considering that he was Community Development Director under Afflerbach, before being Mayor. South Side Allentown is being avoided, and economically adversely affected because of the isolation. Schreibers Bridge is being submitted to repetitive damage because of excessive traffic. A molovinsky field reporter has discovered that the City will handle the dilemma by reversing the traffic flow through the Parkway during the Lights season. Traffic will enter through Vultee Street by Queen City Airport, and exit on to S. 15th Street. She also wants you to remember that you heard it first, here on Channel Molovinsky, although actual broadcasting will not begin until May of 2013.

Allentown's Tycoon
To contact us Click HERE
When I spoke at City Council several meetings ago, behind me in line was J.B. Reilly. He told the Council that the water deal was good for Allentown, and that we better take the deal, while the taking was good. I thought of the old E.F. Hutton commercial, when everyone in the dining room goes quiet, to hear the oracle. Of course what he was saying was not true, time is not of the essence with any water offer; But, he is a genuine tycoon. Council President Guridy should have been offended that Pawlowski would send Reilly to lecture them, but both he and The Morning Call were impressed. It's not cheap to hire Reilly for the evening. The City just sold $224 million of municipal bonds to finance Reilly's projects. Two weeks ago, Reilly closed on the former 1st National Bank on the northeast corner of the square. The building is being prepped for demolition. Although the City just approved several more parcels for the NIZ, don't expect them to float more bonds for the junior varsity.

Romney's Game Changer

I believe that Romney did more than hit a home run last night, he changed the game. Prior to the debate, it was thought that because of Obama's oratory skills, if Romney held his own, it would be a job well done. Romney did much more than hold his own, he dominated the debate, even while allowing Obama more speaking time. More precious than the actual debate, was the pundit reaction afterwards. Progressive Rachel Maddow felt that Obama should have used the 47% weapon. Others described Obama as tired and lackluster. Million dollar contributor Bill Maher tweeted that apparently Obama needs the teleprompter. Needless to say, the conservatives were dancing in their underpants. The next debate on foreign policy doesn't bode well for Obama, United States appeared unprepared for the consequences of the Arab Spring. It will be a long month for the candidates, world events is a wild card beyond their control.

Water War

I believe that if the Administration and it's well trained City Council decide to sell Allentown's water system, there will be a political price to pay. However, if their arrogance prevails, let them consider the following; When the Arena eminent domain vote was put before City Council two years ago, the cost was projected at $80-million dollars. Last week, the NIZ Authority sold $244 million in bonds. The project supposedly will now cost $272-million, close to 400% more than when approved by City Council. If Council approves the water lease at $150-million, how do we know that the Mayor will not actually sell it for 300% less, or $50-million? If there is one lesson that Council should have learned from the arena, it's that you don't sign a blank check, or a blank withdraw slip. If Pawlowski will not agree to second vote, where Council gets to approve the actual lease agreement, it's incumbent upon them to vote no on the first vote.

A pilot in my family turned me on to this terrific music video -- written, performed and produced by his friend, Mike Wagner. The catchy lyrics are set to an old Beach Boys song, and the video is very entertaining.

Kudos to Mike Wagner for doing such a great job with the video, and thanks to Pat Sullivan for sending it to me.

Out in New Jersey(s)You can find the rest of the Teterboro lyrics on Mike's blog, and you can find a link to download an audio-only version there, too.
There’s a place called Teterboro
That’s where everybody goes
To be a part of it all
Lots of jets on the ramp
Loaded up waiting to start engines
They’ll be there for an hour
Before they even have the chance
Down in Teterboro
