Allentown the Beautiful Our home town, and the home town of a hundred thousand other folks! Perhaps it was never called the garden spot of America, but it is a pretty nice place to live in anyhow. Allentown when you really think about it, is a picturesque and beautiful spot The tall stately Columbia who tops the monument that stands ln the center of the town know this because from her position there she sees on all sides some of the grandest and some of the loveliest scenes to be found anywhere east of the Mississippi Not only does she see the rows and rows of flowering lamp posts east west north and south she sees beautiful flowers of all sorts forming a gorgeous pattern of color ln her Rose Garden She rests her eyes lovinglv on little West Park she even remembers with a smlle of warm affection the Turner Street gatevgam to the llttle old lnclxan Cemetery she used to see before the P P and L was ui t She looks on out and away to the mountains to the famous Poconos that we and all our neighbors love to visit every spring and fall when the leaves are coloring when the farms on Lehigh Mountain and in the valleys turn the whole land into a crazy patchwork tipsy with color She sees perhaps with the most satisfaction of all the beauty that her own Allentown sons and daughters have given to their home town We think she sometimes turns to look fondly at a long green hill and a great stage the two separated by a cool stream of water the spaclous green amphitheatre at Union Terrace, already taking on a finished beauty it did not have two years ago and at the shining expanse of the new boating lake out Linden Street Fven the Water Works contributes to the beauty of the town Columbia smiles as she thinks of this as she recalls the vision people usually have when a water works is mentioned She knows that the beautiful green lawn the smooth long cement walks and the extensive lighting system make our water works almost as lovely a place as IS its neighbor Fountain Park 1 , . l 1 1 - 1 1 1 1 1 - , .
