Lehigh Valley with Love Media Sponsors New Molly’s Southside St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Bethlehem

Lehigh Valley with Love Media is proud to sponsor the new Molly’s Southside St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Bethlehem on March 17, 2018 at 1 p.m. beginning at SteelStacks.

The parade is the result of the hard work of many individuals, but mostly due to the unwavering fortitude of the SouthSide Arts District. They took what was just a fun idea dreamed up in the ashes of the Parade of Shamrocks’ cancellation only a few months ago and made it into a real life honest to goodness parade.

What’s Your Finstagram? You Have a Finstagram, Right?

You’ll never keep up with all of the social media trends. No one will. It’s not something anyone should be tasked with or expected to do, to be honest. Besides, once a solid social media trend can be identified, it’s already old and worn out by the time it gets around to mainstream media outlets (See: List Articles.)

So, now that you feel at least a little bit better knowing that you’re not the only person, including social media professionals, who aren’t up on the latest social media trends, let’s give ou a new one: Finstagrams.

Christmas Tree Toss for Charity Returns to Bethlehem

The popular Bethlehem Christmas Toss for Charity will be held on December 16 at 11 a.m. at More Miles Automotive, 1458 Stefko Blvd., Bethlehem, PA.

The original event was first held in 2002 when then Meineke Car Care owner Peter Kearns challenged Mike DeCrosta, currently of More Miles Automotive, to a contest. The resulting yearly tradition became something of a bizarre, but wildly popular, way to celebrate the holiday season. Peter Kearns passed away in 2016.

Don’t Sit Idly by During the Fight for Net Neutrality

What is net neutrality? Why does it matter?

Net neutrality is the principle that Internet providers like Comcast & Verizon should not control what we see and do online. In 2015, startups, Internet freedom groups, and 3.7 million commenters won strong net neutrality rules from the US Federal Communication Commission (FCC). The rules prohibit Internet providers from blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization—”fast lanes” for sites that pay, and slow lanes for everyone else.

Snapchat Adds Ability to Insert Links into Snaps (and Some Other Stuff)

Snapchat has always been a bit difficult for smaller businesses to utilize on a regular basis due to its limited organic reach, 24-hour limit of content on the platform, and difficulty to directly connect with users.

At least one of those problems, connecting directly with users, has crumbled a little with the introduction of user-created links for Snapchat posts.
