Proposal for Spanish-language street signs in heavily Latino PA city met with resistance
Published September 30, 2016 Fox News Latino
In recent years, Seventh Street in downtown Allentown has seen a major transformation.
Taquerias, bodegas and other small businesses have cropped up along one of the main commercial stretches Pennsylvania’s third largest city, giving the once-stolidly white, working class area a much more Hispanic feel.
The cultural shift in Allentown has prompted one city council member, Julio Guridy, to put a resolution before the city council to put Spanish-language street signs up and down Seventh Street and renaming the street “Calle Siete” – an homage to Miami’s Calle Ocho – as a way to honor the town’s growing Latino community.
