Jim Thorpe Residents Fear Krishna City on Ridge
Jim Thorpe residents fear a Hare Krishna City of God may take root on a 400 acre hilltop site near Allen town. Krishna officials describe a planned walled community patterned after New Vrindaban with housing for up to 12 000 inside and 30 000 outside and a 42 mile wall. Local residents say they prefer their own faiths and oppose the project citing concerns about youth outreach and panhandling.
