Peppers for dinner

City Councilman David Pepper planned to visit polling places until the very last minute.

He was in College Hill at 5 p.m., planning to be there until 6:30 p.m., then onto a final spot to be chosen by where the campaign thinks he might need one last boost.

Then he’ll head to a family dinner with his parents, brothers John and Doug and sister Susan – it’s the first time all the siblings will be together since last Thanksgiving, campaign spokeswoman Anne Sesler said.

Some Yale buddies and Pepper’s girlfriend, former Channel 9 reporter Andrea Canning (now working in Washington, D.C.) also came to town.

They’ll all wait for final results at their party location, the 20th Century Theater in Oakley.
