Potlucks with Mike and Al

Getting ideas on the table: 
The Yo! potluck series

The "Yo!" project asked citizens to tell us what they'd say if the next mayor of Philadelphia were sitting at their kitchen table.

That idea came to life as Great Expectations hosted two potluck dinners in which small groups of residents gathered to tell mayoral candidates Al Taubenberger and Michael Nutter what issues were important to them personally and to their neighborhoods.

For a citizen's point of view, check out our citizen bloggers' reports from South Philly and Mount Airy along with a series of drawings.

Or, take a look at the editorial on the topic, a Chris Satullo column or an Inquirer story about the dinners. A photo gallery is also available
