Campaign victory parties

All four major candidates for mayor are having victory parties tonight, although at least two of them will be pretty somber places when the final results come in.

Here's where the candidates will have their victory parties:

Mark L. Mallory: The Millennium Hotel, downtown. It's a union hotel, and the Mallory family has a long-time fondness for this downtown spot. In fact, there's even a booth at the Bistro on Elm with Mallory's name on it. Check it out.

David Pepper: Havana Martini Club, Sixth and Walnut Streets, downtown. A favorite cocktail hangout for the Fourth Street crowd, with designer drinks like the "desperate housewife." It's also the closest to the Board of Elections.

Alicia Reece: Integrity Hall, Seymour Avenue, Bond Hill. No surprise here. The Reece family-owned banquet hall has Reece's campaign headquarters (left) out front. "You have to be where your people are," explains landlord, campaign manager and father Steven Reece Sr.

Charlie Winburn: Campaign headquarters, Hamilton Avenue, College Hill. This used to be home to Demetrio's Restaurant, a venerable old College Hill greasy spoon. Winburn, who lives in Mount Airy and is minister at a church about a mile away in College Hill, transformed this vacant storefront into a bare-bones campaign office, with little more than yard signs and hard folding chairs.
