Thomas Menino

And for the city's birthday, we will host events in every neighborhood of the city, inviting all of our residents to share in the celebration of Boston's great epic - the story of neighbors who support one another where it matters most.

Preparing our city to achieve its destiny will require strong leadership.

Here's what I see all across this great city - people working together to make Boston a better place to live and to raise children, to grow and pursue dreams.
