I was born there in the late 40’s. I still go back to visit friends. The city has become a real sewer. The city is a crossroads for the heroin trade and the crime is off the charts.I follow a web site Hazleton News 1 and its’ depressing to read the stories. It was such a wonderful place to grow up.
This is happening in NJ as well; whole towns are becoming very Hispanic as childless Americans flee the high costs & unemployment here, and the government traffics Third Worlders here to keep the housing, classrooms, and store aisles full (with other peoples’ tax dollars redistributed to the new “clients”). Richer areas just get Asians instead...
