I'm excited for this project but wish they'd do something a little more modern with the crown, at least. Would definitely love to see a public restaurant at the top - I'd totally make the 1.5 hour drive up there for dinner!

Your correct about the proximity, and, not to belabor the point, I spoke from the standpoint of the USOMB which place the Lehigh Valley in the NYC Combined Statistical Area even though it is closer to Philadelphia. Same goes for Trenton which is even closer. I'm sure the OMB already realize that the NYC/Philadelphia CSAs have essentially merged, its just hasn't come up with a official definition to describe it. Nevertheless Allentown appears to be on the upswing and I think that's great.
