BETHLEHEM, Pa. — It's Friday! Yay! It's our favorite day of the week. Any chance you can guess why?
It's also National Skip the Straw Day. Which, can we just say, there are a lot of cool alternatives to plastic straws? Our favorite so far is a rolled-up noodle. It doesn't get soggy at all.
1. Phil Gianficaro attended a city meeting with the Allentown Parking Authority, and residents seem to be disgruntled, to say the least.
2. The Bethlehem Area Public Library is getting a facelift, to bring it in line with the modern needs people have for civic spaces. Kat Dickey has the scoop.
3. Speaking of scoops, Ryan Gaylor has a story on an ice cream shop opening up across the street from Calypso Elementary School. It goes back to the cardinal rule of real estate: location, location, location.
4. In more food-related news, Jay Bradley has rounded up a comprehensive and delicious list of specials for Restaurant Week. Yum.
5. Yesterday evening, Lehigh Valley Public Media had a special conversation with the community on how the pandemic changed, well, everything. Come back later to check out what we learned.
