The DNC is halfway over...for those of you that don't know, my office is just 3 blocks away from the Pepsi Center and the Convention Center. So, we are in the thick of things. Most of us are using alternative transportation to get around with the road closures.
That said, to answer your question of "how is it?," I say - GREAT! Denver is so alive and busy! Walking down 16th Street (the pedestrian mall that runs the length of downtown) feels like a bustling city. The police are plentiful...it seems every city in the state has lent officers to downtown. There have been some protests that have gotten a bit our of hand, but fortunately for me, those have been on the other end of the city. Overall it is a feeling of community and excitement. Of course, I may be a bit biased...
We are always aware and are keeping our eyes open when walking around, but I just couldn't stay inside and not experience history in Denver.
I haven't seen any famous faces (political or otherwise), but coworker "sightings" include Joe Biden, Susan Sarandon, Charlize Theron, and Spike Lee.
I have put of my first set of photos --> HERE
