Mayor Menino, of the city of Boston, has been mayor for the past.. forever. So when he didn't run the past election, it was kind of a big deal. Marty Walsh was his successor and he's been fantastic thus far. Today, Boston.com tweeted that Menino was diagnosed with an advanced stage of cancer.
Listen, I know I'm not in Boston and that Chicago's politics affect me more, but this guy held office most of my life. Something deeply affects me finding out this news and I have no idea why.
Boston is still my city. It always will be. I'm training for 2015's marathon once my biological logistics get fixed. I could spend 30 years wherever and it will always be my home. This in mind, Menino, a dude I've never met, gets sick and it still hurts.
