Upward Bound Allentown Wants You!

A determined and growing gaggle of activists wants to change Allentown. At the spearhead of this movement is a quiet mother, artist, teacher and blogger - Mrs. Dottie. Her group, Allentown Chen-Arts, is already planning its third meeting on Saturday night.

But an even bigger event is being planned. Street art, baby! Upward Bound Allentown is a multicultural celebration of music, art and food that will take place on Allentown's Hamilton Street (between 6th and 7th Streets) on Saturday, July 12, 10 AM thru 6 PM.

Organizer Alfonso Todd (AlfonsoTodd36@msn.com) is looking for performers, artists, vendors and volunteers. Michael Molovinsky has already volunteered for the dunk tank between 10 and noon.

I'll be selling kisses and might do a Chippendale routine.

    I thought you wanted to help Allentown, not finish her off!

    This has nothing to do with this post, but I could think of no other way out you on your birthday (and besides, I'm too cheap to buy a card and pay postage).

    Happy Birthday (you old fart)!

    WhetherVain, You're just the second person to say that today, and I always forget yours. So Happy Birthday to you two days in advance. I'll buy you a box of Depends. For some reason, my friends and family thought my b-day was Monday, so I just went along with them.

    Again, THANKS for the "shout out" ! And remember, the events that Dottie,I, and others put together are only as good as the community that supports them. FUNNY pic too. I spoke to MM yesterday morning and he laughed about this blog all through the conversation. It IS FUNNY !

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
