Crowd files in, waits on Herenton

The Hall of Mayors is filling up quickly as friends, supporters and local politicos gather in anticipation of Willie Herenton's big exit.

City Councilmen Jim Strickland and Bill Morrison are here, as well as some of the pastors who asked Herenton to delay his retirement weeks ago.

Now we're just waiting for the mayor himself to make an entrance.
