Mayor Thomas Menino delivered an optimistic and ambitious state of the city address Tuesday night, offering broad outlines for improving schools, achieving py equity for women and workforce development through partnerships between MIT, Harvard University and city community centers. 

What did you think of the speech? Did the Mayor address your concerns? Do you think the themes presented offer a blueprint for the city's future, or was it too broad and general?

And don't forget your crystal ball: Many political observers hoped Menino would give some sign about his future plans. Given the speech (which you can watch on the city website), do you think the mayor laid out his platform for another term, or was it his valedictory after 20 years in office? Tell us what you think in the comments section below.
