President to visit Allentown’s Main Street
President Obama is making Allentown, PA, the first city to visit after yesterday’s White House jobs summit. Our guest, Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski, attended the jobs summit and is trying to figure out the best ways to remedy high unemployment in his city and the country. Mike Fegley is the marketing director of his family-owned restaurant, Allentown Brew Works; he gives us a read on Allentown’s morale and hopes the President stops by for a drink and a bite to eat.
