In partnership with Young Involved Philadelphia, The Citizen hosted an “Inside The Political Machine” StorySlam at Johnny Brenda’s on Wednesday, July 27.
Nearly 200 super-engaged Philadelphians showed up to drink beer, share experiences and, uh, drink beer. In the coming days, we’ll be posting five of the most compelling stories.
In today’s post, former Mayor John Street regales the crowd with a tale that includes porn, pugilism and bare-knuckled politics. Vintage Street, in other words.
The Philadelphia Citizen will only publish thoughtful, civil comments. If your post is offensive, not only will we not publish it, we'll laugh at you while hitting delete.
