25 years of "Allentown"

So, today's the 25th anniversary of the release of the Billy Joel song, "Allentown." You know, for a song that was supposed to be about Levittown and is mostly describing Bethlehem and western PA, it certainly did shape the image of Allentown in the eyes of America (mostly for people who'd never been to the Lehigh Valley). Naturally, the Allentown Morning Call (good paper! I remember that from my press office days) did an interview with Billy Joel about it.
