Remember when people line up around City Hall for a chance to shake the new Mayor’s hand? Those days are long, long over.
I’m not going to get much into how I feel about the man. From what I can tell, he’s an intelligent man with a good sense of humor and a horrible job. I like the guy and think he was largely dealt a bad hand. With that said, he’s not without his (sometimes serious) flaws. I’ll leave it at that. In honor of the 50% mark of Nutter’s first term, here are a few slightly more interesting photos from the various photo-ops I’ve covered since he took office. Click to enlarge:
