The coolest blocks in Allentown are not a matter of luck

Taryn Johnson is a graduate student in the Environmental Policy Master's Program at Lehigh University. The coolest blocks in Allentown are not a matter of luck. In the hot summer months, surfaces in parts of Allentown can reach over 100 degrees. However, across town, where there is more tree cover, it is noticeably cooler, with differences up to 11.2 degrees Fahrenheit.

As of August, 29 people had gone unclaimed this year. Do you recognize a name here? Bucks and Montgomery counties have hundreds of unclaimed dead Dr. Janine Darby learned about the unclaimed dead numbers while attending a 2023 ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new coroner offices in Eagleville.
