There's a mystery at City Hall.
Along the back wall of the City Council chambers are a couple rows of framed photographs of Bristol's mayors reaching back nearly a century. Last month, the last picture in the line was a spanking new one: Art Ward.
But this month, the picture is gone.
"Too many dart holes," joked Ward. "They had to putty them in."
While that's a possible explanation, I have to note that the pictures are under glass, which is tough to throw a dart through.
So where did the photo go? Was it stolen? Did somebody take a dislike to it?
Is it getting moved to wall behind the mayor's chair, where Nicastro's photo hung during his final years in office?
What do y'all think?
PS: Former Mayor Stretch Norton came up with the idea to put the mayors on the wall there. It's turned out nice.

Photo update most likely (vanity)
Ellen took it.
Don't tell nobody, see, but I took it and I ain't giving it back. I gots it on my mantle so's I can keep my eye on Ward 24/7. He ain't done nothin' yet. If he does, I will let you know.
LOL 3:07 It might be a good idea to put a web cam on it and share with the rest of Bristol
Ellen didn't take it, because if she did, she would have replaced it with one of hers.
Nah, he is going to auction it off to help the budget.
Great guy, isn't he?
Artie lost it to Tom Ragaini on poker night. It is now proudly displayed on Ragaini's pushcart at work.
its hanging at the DAV
To 4:04...
and the world would be a much better place.
Ward can't even keep track of his own photo, or is speaking tongue in cheek again and really knows where it is?
I heard that Ward is looking into a real time video to replace his picture.
And will sell tapes weekly.
Now Lori D. wants to but surveillance cameras for City Hall.
there is not really a market for blank tapes, is there?
