"Why does it show up in so many Broadway musicals?"
Middle America, but close enough to NY that even the most insular never-leave-NY types have heard of it?
(I should note that this isn't meant as any kind of slam -- my Dad grew up in Allentown and it's still always Grandma's place in my mind -- so I have a certain fondness for the joint even if I wouldn't want to live there as an adult.)
I can't even hear the name without thinking "I offer you the starring role in the biggest musical to hit Broadway in 20 years and you say Allentown????"
my first official leadership position! Shiny!
Yay, Kristin!!! Woot!
And, look at me! I'm all posty at work! At WORK, people!! ita, thank you so much for pointing me to the .net site. I had no idea it existed and have been b.org-less at work for months. I feel downright giddy this morning!
BTW, Kristin, congratulations on the leadership position. May it not remain financially unrewarding for long.
Ok, cakes for the three-layer carrot cake are out of the oven. Apartment is completely swept (which was a chore, actually). Break now. Then mopping!
Went to college in Allentown. If I had found a job there I would have stayed.Not a bad place not far from philly or NYC. For suburbia- tons of theater. Including the first stop for all show starting their runs after leaving Broadway. Rodale Press is there, too. 2 4 year colleges in town -- plus a whole bunch of other in the area.
yay for kristin !
Yay for MM!
T just sent me this super cute picture of the nephew: link
Can't remember right now and teh password isn't in iPhone (which really needs a name).
my iPhone's name is iAnto.
I guess the board reset also reset my profile to an earlier version.
For the record, the board doesn't keep versions of anything, so it can't reset like that. I can't think of any scenario in which the software could do that to just one person.
my iPhone's name is iAnto.
AHAHAHAHA!
That's funny.
Of course, mine is Sophia (Bush), so that it can have bitchy back and forths with Lee's Chad (Michael Murray).
Aww. J's funny! (I work with a guy by that name! Who is a singer! But is NOT that particular one. Though he, like all right-thinking humans, appreciates the one who shares his name.)
