Zip Code USA- Bethlehem, Pa. 18015




If there is one place in the United States, which could be deemed Christmas City, USA, it is probably this city of 72,000 near the New York border.

The city, which is the hometown of race car driver Michael Andretti, is currently offering Bethlehem By Night tours for $10 (adult) and $5 (children).

Bethlehem, Pa., is also ranked as the 88th best city to live in the country by "Money" magazine, and it is where the Philadelphia Eagles hold their pre-season camp.

The mayor of the city is John B. Callahan, and according to the jurisdiction's homepage, they are looking for some police officers.

SIDEBAR: I am alas canning the Presidential trivia series, which seemed to be about as popular as a late night infomercial competing with Conan O'Brien and Tavis Smiley. But, the answer to the last entry about the birthplace of Andrew Jackson was South Carolina.

I've never visited Bethlehem, but I hear that Santa Fe, New Mexico and Cape May, NJ really put on the dog at Xmas time! Not to mention the Naples neighborhood of Long Beach, California.
