  • Living Here in Allentown
    LIVING HERE IN ALLENTOWN BEYOND THE RED DOORS Red Door Publications Allentown, PA Copyright © 2005 by Red Door Publications. All rights reserved. Red Door Publications is a recognized student organization at Muhlenberg College, in Allentown PA. Photos as credited Send correspondence to: Red Door Publications Muhlenberg College 2400 Chew Street Allentown, PA 18102 Printed in the United States of America ABOUT THIS BOOK When in Allentown, do as Allentonians do. Need some help? We’ve assembled a fool-proof guide to get you started. Written by college students for college students, Living Here in Allen- town picks up at the edge of campus—the world beyond the Red Doors. We show you around your new hometown, from its greasy spoons to its drive-in theatres. The book was born out of frustration. Most Muhlenberg students confine themselves to campus. The brave make it as far as the strip malls off Cedar Crest Boulevard, but few of us ever leave the West End. Downtown Allentown, in particular, hardly regis- ters in the Muhlenberg mind. The guide is meant to change all this—to burst the infamous “Muhlenberg Bubble.” The book took shape in a fall 2004 Muhlenberg College course, “Print Production.” You could say that this guide—Living Here in Allentown—is the 21 students’ final project. Editors, researchers, graphic designers, food critics, publicists, ad salespeople—we were all of these over the course of a semester. We liked it enough that we’ve formed a group, Red Door Publications, to update the book and to work on new projects. We wandered the city—tasted the soup at the Shanty, rode the Dorney Park roller-coasters—so that you, too, would venture be- yond the Red Doors.

    Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation Annual Report 2008 Creating a Legacy of Stewardship for Our Public Lands 2008 Reflections Lost Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here, And you must treat it as a powerful stranger, Must ask permission to know it and be known. The forest breathes. Listen. It answers, I have made this place around you, If you leave it you may come back again, saying Here. No two trees are the same to Raven. No two branches are the same to Wren. If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you, You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows Where you are. You must let it find you. David Wagoner I keep this poem near my desk to remind me to take time to get outdoors. While we don’t always have the time to take a long hike or camp for the weekend, we can absorb nature in little A LOOK INSIDE sips by planting a garden, taking in a sunset, or smelling flowers with our grandchild. Reflections 2-3 We are fortunate in Pennsylvania to have a park within 25 miles of almost every resident and to have 2.2 million acres of forest lands. This affords us ample opportunity to step outside, to breathe in the trees, Education 4-5 and to listen for answers to our questions. We are also fortunate to have dedicated volunteers who work to help Stewardship 6-7 make these lands enjoyable places to visit, whether by organizing an event, restoring a trail, or planting trees.
