Council is supposed to have 17 members on it. Before that, she was a State Rep.Ĭity Council’s first meeting for the upcoming session is on September 15th. Parker served the 9th District (think: Northwest and Northeast) for a little over six years. I resigned from City Council today so that I could begin the process of running for Mayor. And now, Cherelle Parker is out, because she, too, wants to be mayor. Allan’s out (though he hasn’t announced a mayoral run… yet). Pretty soon, we’re not going to have anybody left on City Council. But on the bright side, they did give us “adorkable.” And we are definitely dropping that in Scrabble real soon. Well, we may have to wait until next year for jawn. Like “jawn.” But with a “p.” And no vowels. After all, when you have a lawyer from Florida whose name is John Morgan advertising on billboards and buses in Philly by changing “John” to “Jawn,” this pretty much solidifies the word’s legitimacy, right?Īlas, the Merriam-Webster new word list just came out, and there’s no “jawn.” The list includes an utterly whopping 370 new words. Because we just know that, eventually, the people who make those decisions will see the light and add the oh-so-Philly “jawn” to the dictionary. And every year, we sit here like little word nerds waiting for that list.
