Talk about an attractive nuisance. Just hoping that none of Stoffa's inmates decide to try and get a fix across the street or worse yet try to steal from the patients in the parking lot in this very, very remote section of town. Great site selection Stoffa. You really got this one right. I really hope my family members that are patients at Valley Pain are NEVER EVER acousted by your inmates. You can bet a lawsuit will follow. The Township did the right thing in denying this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-65698537662632860612010-04-30T14:37:19.889-04:002010-04-30T14:37:19.889-04:00I'm going to submit a proposal when this all g...I'm going to submit a proposal when this all gets approved, like 5 years from now.<br /><br />C'mon Abe, push the courts along and maybe I can get this up in 2 years, either way, I am going to low ball you and thank you for blazing my trail / business venture...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-7958218467452173262010-04-30T13:18:53.163-04:002010-04-30T13:18:53.163-04:00Whats the big news here, Lehigh county has been do...Whats the big news here, Lehigh county has been doing the smart thing for years.Its no grand hotel but dui vacationers have been put up on 6th street.The whole concept is a good one.When you wait too long,sure your gonna have some developer[?} weasel in on the solution.Guy Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-43835205546702985122010-04-30T10:19:39.584-04:002010-04-30T10:19:39.584-04:00Anon 7:03, The only personwho will benefit by the ...Anon 7:03, The only personwho will benefit by the course you suggest are lawyers.

And any appeal this time would have been to the Commonwealth Court. <br /><br />I am sure Abe will appeal for the third time once the conditions are imposed. <br /><br />You read Stoffa's email and one may think this thing is a done deal and will be built soon. Think again. Bethlehem Township is going to find ways to hold this up. Imposition of the conditions is just the start. Wait until it goes into planning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
