Commentary: DNC Traffic Closures Promise Chaos
July 16th, 2008 CBentley
If patience is a virtue and virtue is a grace, delegates and media at August’s DNC in the Pepsi Centre are going to need both. In spades.
Finally, the Great and the Good (well, they’re neither but their positions in authority mean we have to be a little bit deferential, or else?) have revealed the road closures imposed from on high for Denver for the week beginning August 25th.
Most of Speer Boulevard and Auraria Parkway will be off limits for a large part of the week. But, neither Mr. Ford, Mr. Gates nor Mr. Dyson have yet invented either teleporting or the flying car so both patience, time, loads of very expensive gas, and cantankerous determination are going to be needed on a daily basis to get anywhere near to the Convention proceedings.
