Fellow residents and members of Old Allentown, Cheryl Moritz and her husband, Joshua Neth had a great treat for all their neighbors. Cheryl entered an online contest by writing an essay on what a wonderful neighborhood she lives in. In Edy's Slow Churned Neighborhood Salute, Cheryl saluted her neighbors and Edy's saluted her. Cheryl had wonderful news to share with us: she won "Edy's Slow Churned" ice cream for about 150 of her neighbors!! 
Her essay:"I live in a neighborhood that is a mix of well-preserved historic row homes and lower-income rental units. Unfortunately, the two groups that live in each of the aforementioned types of housing rarely have the opportunity to interact. An ice cream block party would be a perfect way to bring together the various social and economic groups that live in my neighborhood, and it would also 
be a perfect way for the community to celebrate and do something positive in an area that is often portrayed negatively in the m
edia for being crime filled. Many people in my neighborhoodare trying hard to change the community for the better, and a
n Edy's Slow Churned Neighborhood Salute ice cream block party would be the perfect reward for our efforts and a wonderful impetus to encourage more positive change." 
So Sunday, July 12th the pocket park at Turner and Fountain Streets was filled with neighbors having an awesome time in the great weather. There were many delicious flavors to choose from. There was also an art table for our youth.
