What are some small things about living at STRATA that make your day better? I love the dog park! 

What is your ideal way to spend the weekend in Downtown Allentown? Yoga at Easton Yoga Allentown in the morning, smoothie at Greenmouth, relaxing on the roof during the afternoon and dinner, drinks and live music at the The Hamilton Kitchen at night.

What is one thing you love about STRATA that most people haven’t heard of? I am loving my new membership to the Allentown Art Museum that was given to STRATA residents.
