We will watch for sightings of the would-be mayors at events commemorating Dr. King today.
Fattah is helping to sponsor a "groceries for guns" initiative with City Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds-Brown, the police department, Men United for a Better Philadelphia and People for People. Apparently, the event -- at the North Broad St. YMCA -- is aptly named: People are invited to trade in their guns and get groceries. $200 in grocery vouchers per gun; $400 in vouchers maximum for each person.
Wow.
Knox and Nutter released their complete schedules; Knox will be assembling and handing out emergency preparedness kits in "underserved neighborhoods" with Gov. Rendell, Mayor Street and Paul Vallas, among other stops on his agenda; Nutter will be at King Day of Service activities at two schools, including Martin Luther King High, as well as a church service, a memorial breakfast and memorial lunch.
Evans has not released a schedule that we can find, but he has posted a letter on his site that encourages involvement in the events at Martin Luther King High school, so one would assume that he will be there.
