The Bon-Ton has been torn up at the South Mall in Allentown. Giant will be opening a new supermarket there this year. Prior to yesterday, this building had the most well-preserved former 70's era Hess's department store facade. A number of these Hess's stores were preserved in their original condition by The Bon-Ton from the time Bon-Ton bought Hess's in 1994 until Bon-Ton went out of business in 2018. Since then, the Lehigh Valley has lost all of its old Hess's storefronts one by one.

The two best remaining examples of 70's Hess's stores are now at the Richland Plaza (formerly Richland Mall) in Quakertown and the Palmer Park Mall in Easton. Both of those former Hess's stores have been altered, but still have some distinct original design features left. A look at the exposed steel beams reveals a stamp that links the construction materials to Kramer Steel of Allentown, a company which no longer exists.

“horror movies of the 1970s reflect some of the grim social developments of the decade. fortunately, when society goes bad, horror films get good. in the 1970s horror makes its way back into the cultural spotlight. horror movies dealing with contemporary social issues and addressing genuine psychological fears were big hits during the decade.”

"fire and blood isn't supposed to be a completely true story. the showrunners can adapt things how they want, they don't have to follow the source material."

Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.

An immortal life. And I offered it to him... in the church, on the altar.
