The "City Without Limits: Points of Pride" parade and community festival will depict milestones such as a turn-of-the-century visit to Allentown by Teddy Roosevelt. "People can literally watch history pass by," said parade chairman, the Rev. Bob Stevens. The parade will be divided into six divisions.
