I was in her corner for a while, but after talking to people with insight into how her office was run, seeing her pay corrupt John Street for an endorsement, and watching her disappointing Philadelphia Citizen interview, I'm looking for a next best choice. I'm just not convinced who that might be yet.

She came to the interview unprepared and just repeated platitudes about how amazing the city is and her job as Mayor as being enthusiastic and getting people to work together. It was totally devoid of specifics even though Nutter, her former boss, was pretty easy on her.

Yep, I reached out to her campaign twice to ask a simple question about a vacancy in the mayors cabinet and her plans to nominate someone if elected. Stonewalled both times. Asked Jeff Brown's campaign the same question and quickly got an answer back on how he plans to fill the leadership positions at the top and many other positions at city hall. Unless something major happens between now and May 16th I am voting for Jeff Brown in the primary.

No, it's mostly a product of Chinese American immigrants and didn't really make it's way back to China. Except for the very large and international cities, China doesn't really have a tradition of eating food from other cultures.

I found one Chinese American restaurant when I lived there, and it was in Shanghai which is probably the most international Chinese city. It was in a neighborhood that's very popular with American and European expats, so mainlanders were certainly not their target demographic.

You’re right. This discussion probably would’ve gone much differently if we were all in person. I would’ve sounded clearer. I am sure most of the supposed supporters would’ve been far more overbearing than I.

But in this space, I think you’re right that I come off as a troll. The downvotes, whomever they are from, certainly assist in perpetrating the tone of my posts, however. I am not a troll, to be clear.

I just read her webpage and I all I can honestly see is more police. That makes me sad, honestly.
