Mayor Rahm Emanuel Makes His Final City Hall Departure

CHICAGO (CBS)-- The corridors were lined by Mayor Rahm Emanuel's supporters and city workers as Emanuel made his ceremonial final departure from city hall.

After eight years in office, crowds cheered as a smiling Emanuel marked his last official day in office.

He shook the hands of police and supportive onlookers, dropping in a few high-fives and hugs along the way.

The big sendoff is just days before mayor-elect Lori Lightfoot will take over on Monday.
