meteorologist sheena parveen. we saw some near record highs in our area today, but we also broke at least one record, right? >> you know the updated high temperatures coming in both allentown and reading hit a record high temperature, both hit 65 degrees today, but now look at allentown drop down to 54 degrees, so the temperatures are dropping quickly now the sun has set, but we won't be as

bringing out some of the bigger crowds. people are looking for a little bit of a different shopping experience. store owners say it's casual and low pressure here where they can answer customer questions, interact with them, and the downtown businesses are working together to offer incentives like discounted gift certificates that can be used anywhere here in the downtown area and we asked one owner why haddonfield had managed to succeed where other areas have struggled with small businesses. here's his answer. >> i think it's a lot of the programming that we do here. we do candlelight shopping, which is on the weekend, fridays and saturdays. we have horse drawn carriage that comes through, carollers, music. >> reporter: and the weather today did not hurt either. some businesses set
