Being "cool"

A while back, we showcased Mayor Sam Adams’ most interesting (and, at times, confusing) Facebook photos. It was fun! Soon, however, he will be passing his “mayor with delightful photos” crown onto a new candidate. To make the November voting process easiest for you, I scoured the Facebooks of mayoral candidates Jefferson Smith and Charlie Hales to compare and contrast their greatest shots. Cast your vote on who wins this glorious Facebook Face-off!

(Here is the main thing I learned from this process: They each have SO MANY PHOTOS. Please feel free to spend your entire day looking at Jefferson Smith shaking everybody’s hand and Charlie Hales grinning at everything, if you wish.)
