State Rep. Joe Brennan and Bethlehem Township Commissioner Felix Barnard will be running this race, too. They've been part of a group of guys training together on weekends. Joe had no idea that Barnard is a Republican Township Commissioner. Felix had no idea that Joe is a Democratic State Rep.
Running transcends politics.

Joe told me to meet him at 2 AM one recent weekend for a training run at the corner of 6th and Linden in Allentown.
"Make sure you wear your tights!" he suggested. He said if he was late, I should just wait there.
He never showed, but I did get lots of compliments. I even got to ride in a police car.

Is Joe running in his suit?

Stop by Luna's bakery on Linden St. It is new. My family always tries to support new businesses in the city.
My wife went in at noon to purchase some treats and they refused to wait on her. Seems the only distinguishable factor is she is blatantly Anglo.
I would be interested if others would try it and see what the outcome is. Only condition is you must speak in English, prior to being waited on.
Allentown, Allentown, Allentown!

"Is Joe running in his suit?"
He took off the tie.
1:24, I'll check out Luna's. I hp[e the deal w/ your wife was a misunderstanding.
I can understand why they never ended "hooking" up with you. Your jokes are our wishes.
TM wants her tights back.
Oh God, Here comes another burglary claim.
Bernie, i have been to luna's bakery a dozen times and i am as lilly white as they come. Each time the place was packed and i was served as everybody else was. I was the only non-hispanic. I ordered in english. Folks ordered in spanish and english. When i didnt know what was in the case, i asked and the server not only gave me the name of the treat but gave me a general description of the items. It has resulted in me eating more balked goods than i should. This has been a repeat experience. And yeah, the stuff is good. Dont expect weis prices but the quality is much better so its worth it.
After running 13.1 miles, I probably would have eaten the entire bakery. Thanks for reporting your experience. My guess is that there was some misunderstanding with 10:24's wife.
We are hearing from you, yeah.
Yes. I survived, and will post a story in a few minutes.
