Getting spiffy for our visitors

I noted earlier today that some of the people one might expect for a GOP national convention won't be here. But there is an article in MinnPost about how both our city and Minneapolis are spiffying up for our new friends, the Republicans, whichever of them make it, when they come here in a few weeks.

There are new plantings in Rice and Smith [Mears] Parks and at the Saint Paul Hotel. There even was a big drug bust across the street.

I do wonder why we don’t get so concerned about dentists, plumbers, attorneys, Lutherans, Hibernians, software engineers, or others who come to town.

And I know that I will likely never receive an answer, certainly not a good and truthful one.
