Experience Hawaiian Traditions at Aloha Jay's
Owner of Aloha Jay’s, Jay Losagio says that after the passing of his father, he was determined to fulfill his final request and open a malasada shop. Visiting Hawaii more than 13 times, Losagio fell in love with the beauty, culture and food. “During the third trip there, I had my first malasada, and was hooked!” he says. “In 2011, I took my dad with me to Oahu, and he ate three malasadas in one sitting. He used to joke with me, hey, why don’t you open a business up that serves these in PA?” It took Losagio two and a half years and over 353 batches to perfect the malasadas that he serves in Hellertown today. “There was a lot of aloha put into this and I feel that is a big reason why Aloha Jay’s has been received well thus far,” he says.

A first in the Lehigh Valley: New outdoor fitness court is free to use
Fitness enthusiasts or those just starting out exercising, have a new spot in the Lehigh Valley to pursue the healthy endeavor, and its free. In Upper Nazareth Township, people gathered Saturday for the formal dedication of a new fitness court at Leibert Park, which is the first of its kind locally, according to a national organization that helped install hundreds of similar courts elsewhere in Pennsylvania and nationwide. The outdoor gym can provide a full-body workout in as little as seven minutes. The features of the court focus on seven zones: core, squat, push, lunge, pull, agility and bend. The court has various step blocks, and objects to push or pull. It is also geared for people of all fitness levels and those wanting to spend more time. About one-half of the gym has an open space on which group exercise classes will be held. In between is a wall with artwork of the Nazareth region depicting several landmarks, including the Martin Guitar factory in the township. C.F. Martin & Co. is one of the donors of the approximately $300,000 facility.

Sublime with Rome Farewell Tour 2024 | Review by Janel Spiegel
Photography provided by Wind Creek Event Center (photo credit Dana Grubb) Bethlehem, Pennsylvania… What a beautiful night, the moon was out, mother nature gave her all. The entire night was beautiful as Sitting on Stacy and G. Love & Special Sauce opened the show for Sublime with Rome, the Farewell Tour. Rome brought all the homies together tonight. I know I saw quite a few of my friends. Rome Ramirez is the current lead singer, and guitarist for Sublime. Rome is also a songwriter, and producer. Always give all the love and respect to the songwriters. Rome brought so much to Sublime, and he will be releasing his own music, and has stated he wants to focus on that but tonight, a sold-out, packed show in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania was full of love, and gratitude from Rome, and the fans who came out to show love and support.
