Depends where you are...
Allentown has been described as a slum with a monument in the middle. In some ways, that accurately portrays the downtown area. However, the areas outside of the downtown area vary and many are very nice neighborhoods. Not much cohesion in the city--distinct neighborhoods, mostly quiet. Not a bad place to live, overall.
