I found a site with crime in Allentown, and did a comparison with Memphis:
http://allentown.areaconnect.com/crime/compare.htm?c1=Allentown&s1=PA&c2=Memphis&s2=TNI actually live about 15 miles outside downtown Allentown. Don't know if you've ever been to Allentown, but it's an embarrassing eye-sore. There are many nice areas outside Allentown, but the city itself is nasty. It seems that every time I listen to the radio, I hear a story about a downtown shooting.
