Mayor to Mingle

Mayor to Mingle, originally uploaded by ujima.

New mayor of Philadelphia, Michael Nutter, opened City Hall Philadelphia yesterday
from 4-8 PM to greet citizens. There was also a food tent and live entertainment. I got
there at 3:30 after a stop at the farmers' market. The line was already hundreds long.
Fnding the handicapped entrance and using the regular tactics produced nothing.
The fact that I had a carryall further prohibited my entrance.
So I walked among the crowd taking pictures and talking to people I did and did not know.
The Kucinich tee I was wearing also drew a lot of attention.
After an hour, I gave up and crossed the street to catch the bus for home.
