Join Mayor Tuerk on Saturday July 19, as 2nd Street is turned into a meandering Caribbean lane. The Double Parking Festival will run from Tilghman to Hamilton. Enjoy authentic food, free from permit, licensing and inspection restrictions by the man.
The event is being coordinated by Xana, he/she/they, Allentown's new director of Above and Far Beyond. This new position was created because the People & Culture Specialist, Kumari Ghafoor-Davis, limits herself to DEIAB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Acceptance, and Belonging)
This new annual event will be the fourth Latino vote pandering festival on the city calendar. A car stereo contest will be based on volume and bass vibration. The only ICE present will be in your drink cups. Security by Promise Neighborhoods. Park where and how you like.

I read your article, and I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
ReplyDeletePower corrupts. Horsepower corrupts absolutely.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a much different Allentown now, and the old one ain’t coming back!
ReplyDeleteExcellent artwork reminiscent of a time ‘when cars were cars, each with their OWN personality.’ When a steady parade of those real chrome behemoths cruised down Hamilton Street nightly.
ReplyDeleteThat Coronet’s truck lid ornament certainly works for me, too!
Mayor Matt is only the first of many Latinx chief executives who will lead the formerly All American City.
ReplyDeleteIt’s difficult not to be bullish about the future.
