    But you knew of the Daleys, Rahm Emanuel, maybe Harold Washington. Lightfoot.

    No?

      Of course. You didn't mention Byrne and Bilandic.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Unfounded rumor...

        When Harold Washington had his fatal event (heart attack?) a couple of my colleagues tended to him in the emergency room. There were rumors that Washington was wearing "interesting" undergarments.

        They refused to comment either way.

              The mayor of Denver's name has recently become memorable.

              Education is extremely important.

                Actually, a couple of years ago, I knew Portland's as well - Ted Wheeler.

                  By the way, I didn’t have unaided recall of Byrne, but with your nudge I remember. I don’t remember Bilandic. Maybe I was overseas then.

                    Just googled, I was between 8 and 11 when Bilandic served. I get a bye.

                      But, I just realized, does Portland qualify as a "Big city?" It's #27,

                        Off topic but I’m going to Phoenix in February. At that point I will have visited the top 19 cities, and 25 of the top 30.

                          I visited 24 of the top 30

                          For some reason, I was thinking the other day that I used to know who was the mayor of the cities mentioned.

                          No longer. Maybe because we don't all watch the same nightly news anymore.

                          I forget the name of the mayor of the town where I live. I have met him and talked to him, but I forget his name.

                          Of course I forget a lot of things now.

                            Women tell me, fawningly, that my Johnson is memorable. Therefore every time I hear of someone named Johnson, it reminds me of my Johnson, which I'm told is memorable.

                              I wholly agree, Jon. Since Lindsay ive always known the NYC mayor’s name, usually the other three major cities too.

                                Your Johnson is smaller than the mayor's, which contains a T.

                                  Perhaps the Chicago one, but not the Denver one. Or so I might speculate.
