Who would have thought a year ago that City Councilmen Jim Kenney and Frank DiCicco would be holding a joint fundraiser for one of their colleages?
Okay - ex-colleague.
That ex-colleague, of course, would be Michael Nutter, the almost-certain next mayor. It's hardly surprising that Kenney and DiCicco would pull out this kind of stop for Nutter; the trio were buds of sorts on Council. Kenney and Nutter, for instance, liked to wink and smile at each other from their assigned seating across the room from one another.
In any case, tonight's is not a high-brow event. It's $100-a-head at Paradiso Restaurant in, where else? South Philly.
