It’s spooky season, and if you’re looking for creepy merch, you probably want to head to Allentown. Where else can you pick up an antique glass bottle that was used to hold embalming fluid? The strip along East Warrington is home to a bunch of offbeat businesses and has become a mecca for the goth kids, the misfits and the metalheads. In honor of Halloween season, we’re bringing back our conversation with Kelly Braden, owner of Grim Wizard Coffee and the Weeping Glass, and Zach Bellante, owner of Death Comes Lifting, about why the Hilltop became the perfect place to set up shop. **This episode originally published May 20, 2024.
