I was born here in this town. Now I'm sorry we ever left.
It's funny how a person can move from an area as just a very young boy, grow to travel all four corners of his country for most his life, raises a family, losses, gains, good and bad and after all that, he lands 5 miles from where he once began, full circle.
It still feels like home. Allentown, NJ is a tiny antique town with character. I walk these streets once again as a man now and often see people/couples strolling with a look on their faces that speaks volumes. I sometimes strike a conversation and find they enjoy the area as well as I tell them what I remember of it all here.
So whether you're coming to visit or are just passing through, park, get out, and walk around. And know one thing, not much has changed in the 60-some years I've been alive. I suspect (and hope) it never really does.
When I was a boy, there was a candy store, a mault shop, a comic book store, a pizza parlor, an old general store, a boy scouts, still a big wondrous lake, an Old Mill (shops), they have their own schools and a few churches. The stores have changed but new ones have arrived. I've noticed, however, that all the charms of a tiny antique town are still all in place. I was relieved to see the landscape along side the lower lakebed, that was all stream, woods and field, has become a public park and not developed. I hope it brings a young child good memories as I have of this place, my home, Allentown, NJ. Where everyone knew everyone and all was right with the world.

I could not compliment Mr. Pete and Mill Pond Arts anymore. This is a special place for kids of all ages. My daughter took singing lessons there and was excited to go every week. Mr. Pete is amazing and he inspires his students! I would highly recommend.

Responsive, reasonably priced, talented teachers! They also offer a variety of lessons from in-home to in-studio and cover a vast array of instruments. Became a no-brainer decision for me and my family. My daughters are currently taking drum, guitar, and bass lessons from them.

Mill Pond Music Academy is an all encompassing studio for all ages. Something for everyone. Their program inspired me to get back into voice as an adult. signed my 8yr old daughter up for guitar. They are the best!
