This'll wrap it up for my coverage of the Con. I'm beat. It's been an interesting week here in Boston. Much calmer and less active than most people feared/hoped for. Hopefully the lack of spending won't drive any retailers or restaurants out of business. I'm betting that NYC won't have similar issues with the RNC - there'll be some disruptions, to be sure, but the size and population of NYC will easily absorb the incoming crowd. Given that it's the RNC, however, look for more protests.
Hope you've enjoyed the real-time coverage from my cell phone posts. The goal was to show what was going on in Boston and inside the Convention, without having a political bent, just a ground floor look. Hopefully, that's how it came out.
Thanks for reading! Cheers.
