Lots of Mayoral races last night, with specific marching orders to revitalize and continuously improve our cities.  I'll be back later today with some thoughts on their different charges, but here's a quick round-up:

David Bing is elected for a full-term in Detroit.

Wunderkind Luke Ravenstahl is re-elected in Pittsburgh.

Bloomberg wins by less than anticipated in NYC for his self-appointed third term (basically).

Menino wins easily, but also by a smaller margin than usual, in Boston. He's now the city's longest serving Mayor, beginning his 6th term today.

Lawrence, MA elects its first Latino Mayor, William Lantigua - the first in MA.

In Atlanta and Houston, no decisions yet.

Any key elections in your neck of the woods?

And Maine voters, WTH????
