Unique
restaurants, shops, art festivals and non-stop night life cover this less than
a mile-long street that stretches from Main Street to Symphony Circle. Allen
Street is the center of local art and nightlife on the West Side. Bar and clubs
flood the section of Allen between Elmwood Avenue and Wadsworth Street leaving
little to no room for other businesses. The Allentown Association’s Improvement
Committee is an organization set in place to lead Allen Street’s return to a
mixed-use environment. By Zachary Huk and
