i had a pleasant surprise

when i opened my front door

and standing there was

my mayor, chris taylor

he was walking around the neighborhoods

talking to people

about the upcoming primary election

we talked for a bit

and i thanked him

for all he’s done

and continues to do

for ann arbor

 when he left

and i closed the door

i thought that this is how politicians should be

just walking around talking to people in their neighborhoods.

  5. Beth,

    People need the personal touch more than ever. Bravo for your mayor. He must be prepared for anything. How large is Ann Arbor? It has a university presence, thinking and alive–my one-night impression.

    BTW, thanks overall for sharing your experiences exploring with the kiddies. They can certainly feed your optimism. That feeds mine, and I don’t even have to wipe their faces. I didn’t have my glasses on makes more sense every day. All about perspective, right?

  12. You have such a cool Mayor, many times you have shown how involved he is! 👏
    I appreciate hands on leaders, politicians and local mayor’s. Carrie my oldest daughter is getting married to Daniel on Friday while the past Mayor Carolyn Riggles will officiate. I am going to be there!! ❤ Originally, her step daughter from first time around was going to photograph. Something came up so I get to be there to capture through pictures. (She really didn’t want her Dad to come and that meant I couldn’t. . .)
