At national battlefields and military shrines on American shores and abroad, the stories of valor and sacrifice of the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces have often been told in granite markers, some grand, some understated. It makes the annual, national yard sale of granite remnants, sponsored by a network of North American stone fabricators a fitting gesture to help ... »
Add “text neck” to the list of digital-age maladies, a condition caused by the unnatural position of the head as we look down repeatedly at cell phones, tablets and laptops. In a chat, Harry Jenkins, outpatient orthopedic physical therapist at Lehigh Valley Health Network’s Cetronia Road clinic, discussed conditions caused by poor posture, their effect on overall health an... »
We know how a lot of things go: the child who insists she doesn’t need a sweatshirt ends up invariably shivering and whimpering three hours later; you will hit every red light on Route 512 unless you need to reach for something in the back seat and then it’s as green as Saint Patrick’s Day; and most hospitals and doctor’s offices come standard with a long wait time, three ... »

There is a new kid on the block or, I should say, on Grape Street. Joey Grisafi (owner of Corked Wine Bar in Bethlehem) opened Joey G’s Italian Kitchen in June. Joey G’s is very casual but a big step up from a walk-in pizzeria where Joey says you will find “No Bada, No Bing – just great Italian food”.
