Philadelphia Mayor John F. Street spotted waiting in line for an iPhone. [PhillyFilter] Symptomatic of Mayor Street's lack of interest in his job, or just technolust gone to the extreme?

Also, I'm dying to know if SansPoint is at work right now. SansPoint, are you at work right now? Don't You Have A Job To Do?

Actually the iPhone has wifi, right? So it should work on philly's citywide network without needing to use the slow EDGE network.

At least he didn't hire one of the "line sitters" to get a phone for him.

He is. While he goes back to work.

A "corruption" tag? Really? Or was that supposed to go along with your "haha" tag?

Street likes to do random shit like this to prove he's a Man Of The People. I'm not really surprised.

My cousin ran into him a few years ago while she was shopping for a new cell phone. He was doing the same. I guess he's always on the lookout for a new and better phone. Not the sort of matter you want to trust to unreliable City Hall interns.

carsonb I work evenings. My shift starts at six, which means no waiting in line for an iPhone for me, even if I could afford it.
