Convention Updates

Well, the convention was definitely “in town” by Friday.  It was obvious when I went into the bodegas on my corner and five midwestern women were in there and asked me if Ground Zero was within walking distance.  I told them “yes, if you have a few hours”, then smiled and told them with five they might as well just hop in a cab over taking the subway (if they could find a cab who will let all five of them in).

Today Ninth Avenue had the parking lanes coned off and four police on every corner.  A bit crazy for the distance we are to the convention.

Here’s a CNN article: Tens of thousands protest GOP convention
A few channels also have the protests airing live.
