I was all set to make a few jokes about her being named after a nondescript Chevrolet model from the 1960s & 70s, and it turns out her name is Cherelle. At least I can joke about her being raised by a famous American poet, writer, critic, wit, and satirist: Cherelle was born to a single teenage mom and raised by her grandparents James and Dorothy Parker. + Charlie and + WilliamM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ Charlie Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Although I was longtime Philadelphian (38 years), I have never kept up with Philadelphia politics in the 20 years since I left, so I was totally unaware of this woman.

Obviously I need to do some research.. Trust me, many Philadelphians who live in the city for as long as you have been away from it (like me) didn't know her either. What I think is that pretty much anyone is better than the clown that just left. Nothing wows me in this city at all. I guess it's good to have a person who looks more like the people in the city. Didn't know anything about her, so time will tell. marylander1940 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTC The diversity worshippers got all vehrklempt when Lori Lightfoot was the first black & openly gay woman to become mayor of a major US city. Four years and innumerable failures later when she placed a miserable 3rd & lost reelection, nobody gave a sh*t that she was a black lesbian. All they cared was that she sucked.

She can also put on 50 lbs., become disabled and confess she's a lesbian so we can please other discriminated groups, right?

There were problems in Philadelphia then - most large cities have problems marylander1940 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockey Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I think Rendell and Street were both good mayors. Rendell revitalized center city and Street tried to revitalize the poorer neighborhoods. I’m hoping that mayor Parker will be better than either of those gentlemen. I agree that all cities have problems, but I only lived in Philly and its burbs, and am now living much farther away. + Charlie and soloyo215 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
