Renaissance Woman


Since the mayor has decreed that there is a Renaissance going on in Allentown I thought I should update Mrs. Dottie's image a little. She is now even more glamorous and refined. She is getting ready to go out for an evening of fine art, culture, and elegant upscale dining. See you on the Square!

And what does that have to do with Russian Jews?

MM,

A retro nightclub would be so cool for Allentown. Gee, wish YOU were mayor.

I've heard that Coney Island is being revitalized.

AJ,

A lot of the Russian Jews who came here were stage performers, writers, comedians. Odessa was a center for the arts, a Russian or Ukrainian port city I believe.

@aol.coma.j, the nightclub was like going back to the 50's, or at least how i image a nightclub was then. the patrons and whole neighborhood is now jews who migrated from russia and ukraine. they actually are quite secular, they sell pork products in their deli's, which are interesting. the boardwalk, which previously was depressed, is now occupied with restaurants which put out tables with tablecloths, etc., that reminded me of atlantic city in the 50's, which i do remember. dottie, i don't know about how many entertainers there are, but if the truth be told there supposedly is a russian mafia
