Talk:Hazleton, Pennsylvania

message: Isn't Hazleton the highest incorporated city in the entire state of Pennsylvania?
Please comment on this here.
I believe it is but can't verify.  Very few incorporated cities east of Denver are 1700 ft. above sea level, so it may be one of the highest east of the Rockies period (though I doubt it is THE highest).  Indeed, very little land at all in the east is that high to begin with, let alone built-up land.--Hairymon 01:29, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hazleton Trivia 

message: I agree from my experience with them that Primerica is an MLM scheme (and a shame that Citibank is a part of it), but I still think it is POV to say that here (or at least makes it not look like an "encyclopedia" article).  It may make better sense to not mention it at all, though I left it in without the MLM reference.  --Hairymon 01:26, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I think something about this website should be included: www.nosantaforhazleton.com . This seems to be a scathing commentary on their stance against illegal immigration.

thread_title: Criticism of Hazleton

message: Hazleton was a great town to grow up in, even though it did have a Mafia influence. With the Mafia there was none of the drugs and killings that are going on now. The Mafia, whose children I went through school with were very nice people. They keep Hazleton a very good city to grow up in, True they owned the city politicians, but heck being a politician is not an honorable profession anyway.There is probably more dirt on most politicians than on most Mafia.
 I left Hazleton in 63,to go in the Marines, where I spent a career. I mainly left because at that time, there were no jobs. Can-Do was comming on line, I put many dimes in the "LunchPails for CAN-DO" and I see now ther are three industrial parks.   Part of my family still lives there and will till they die even though they complain about all the drugs and killings.
 When I was growing up we were taught Hazleton was the highest city in PA. Also,its nickname was "Pennsylvania's Air Conditioned City". Many people had license plates with that slogan on it.
  Was there a few weeks ago, down town looks like Hiroshima did in 1945. Wyoming St, looked like drug haven, it was sad to me to see such a nice city, now looking like the barrios of the third world countries. Even though I haven't lived there in years, it still is near and dear to my heart.
 When Hurricane Hazle gave us a visit, it basically closed down the deep shaft mineing, and the strip mining got even bigger. I High School, we used to joke, "If the Russians ever came to bomb us, they would take one look, and say we'd already been bombed and keep on going".
  Hazletonian forever, just can't live there. ----  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dawson springs (talk • contribs) 17:01, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
