I received an email this morning notifying me that Department of Public Welfare may be considering closing the 97 year old Allentown State Hospital.  The closure is being met with a good bit of resistance. Below are links to news articles on the closure, I will add new links as I find them. Should I find out any more information I will also post it here. Please feel free to leave a comment or email me if you come across any new information on the Allentown closure.
