Michael Wildes, elected in November 2018 prides himself on the many weddings that he conducted in during his 2 previous terms as Mayor of Englewood. One wedding has already taken place in less than a week after Mayor Wildes was sworn in. This writer welcomes the practice of conducting weddings at City Hall. It is a majestic old building with many a Developer giving it a side eye for redevelopment. So bring on the weddings. Save City Hall from the wrecking balls. That staircase is perfect for weddings and the building is too historic and beautiful to lose.
