“When I was young I never knew that walking down Main Street would feel so much like home—for the rest of my life.” Each time I come back to visit my parents home on Main Street it’s as though I’m on hallowed grounds. Times have changed, businesses have changed hands, and new shops & eateries emerged. Yet this small town remains sweet with history and memories of growing up in the 1950's & 60's. School days...boys and their cars, holiday traditions. People who owned businesses lived in town either in the same building or just a few doors away. Documented quotes throughout by F. Dean Storms. This book fondly recalls the community and culture of Allentown New Jersey through the eyes of a girl born in Dr. Farmers' small town hospital in 1951. From attending first grade in a local church--to sitting on the front porch watching the hot cars drive through town in the 60's...these are times worth remembering.

"born at dr. farmers too lorraine (hurley) layton" I was born in 1946 and went to high school at Allentown N.J. and my boys also went to Allentown. I have not read your book yet but I just ordered it today. My home is now in up state S.C in Clover.
