It’s the “era of the city” and the time for working women equality, school choice and gun control. Those were some of the themes broadcast in Tuesday night’s State of the City address by Mayor Thomas M. Menino at Faneuil Hall. After recovering from a lengthy illness, the Mayor walked the 50 feet to the stage using a cane to the Kelly Clarkson song, “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” to a standing ovation from the friendly crowd. (Ed: It sounds like he’s running again.)
