I’m glad the G20 Summit is over
It’s been chaotic here for the past 3 days. Streets have been totally shut down while the dignitaries were in town. Apparently it’s par for the course wherever the summits go. People in cities like New York and Chicago are used to it because they have these kinds of events all of the time. We never have stuff like this happen.
We like when big events come to town because it generally means a windfall for the city as far as revenues. This time almost every business in the downtown area is closed so there won’t be a big boost to the economy. It does show that the city can handle this type of event again in the future.
Maybe next time we’ll see some kind of economic benefit from a large event such as this. For now I’m glad this is over. I don’t like seeing the police, the National Guard, and armed military personnel on every corner.
