Notice the different addresses. This is what happens when you are more interested in getting your name out there than you are with getting the facts.
The City also sent an email that included the incorrect address. The Mayor seems to suffer from the same sickness as does Donald Trump. She should try getting her facts straight before she engages her tax payer funded PR machine.
