Wouldn't it be great if someone in the Allentown, Pennsylvania are would go out and see if this building is still standing and take a picture of it as it still exists? Is it gone, or is it standing waiting for someone to bring it back to its past glory?
Anywhy, here is how it looked back in the 1950s.

IF I WIN A CERTAIN SIGN ON EBAY....I MIGHT BE DRIVING THRU ALLENTOWN TO PICK IT UP. THERE'S ALSO AN ABANDONED STEEL MILL THERE TOO, BUT THAT ANOTHER STORY.

ALWAYS LIKE THE QUART PYRAMIDS IN THE FRONT OFFICE WINDOWS!

From Google maps it looks like the gas station is gone. I looks like a Highway 22 overpass took it out.

Back in the early 80's we used to take my '71 cuda down to Allentown and go 'cruzing'. That was one of the ways we went down, but I can't remember that station. One of our members is from Northampton which is just above Allentown, I'm sure he'll confirm if it's still there.

I'm coming to Allentown to swindle someone out of that property--PERIOD! LOL Thanks for the pic, Jack!
