More Live Blogging

All of the city's living former mayors are at the ceremony.
They are sitting in the 2nd row, behind Nutter and his family.
From right to left: Ed Rendell (1992-2000)...John Street (2000-2008)...Wilson Goode...(1984-92) William J. Green 3d (1980-84)


Two of those men have sons on Council: Wilson Goode Jr. and Bill Green 4th, who is being sworn in today. Street's son, Sharif, lost his bid in the primary to win a seat on Council.
Rendell's son, Jesse, is a former rock musician, now in law school. No word on his political plans.

I hope it will be a long while before I see the name Street in front of an elected office again.
