I agree that town sounds familiar.  Hope no one was killed?

I'm almost positive we have a member from Allentown. I remember a while back in the for sale section there was a member selling some parts or something, almost positive he was from there.

I'm still alive and well!  :hick:  I live outside of Allentown and wasn't in PA when it happened. I know exactly where it is and go to that area for car parts at Advanced Auto. Kitz Katz is in the area too.

It's scary to think how many old gas lines are in cities like Allentown.

Last I heard, at least 5 people were killed including a 4 month old boy. Very sad....

Oh my, that is horrible.  I cant imagine the grief that poor man is feeling.  My prayers go out to him.
