Verdict’s in on Business-killing DNC: It’s a Bust

Seems the Boston Locals are NOT happy.

The Boston Herald. [1] says:

“Promises of a Democratic convention windfall now seem as empty as Boston’s streets this week to many Hub merchants, restaurants, tourist sites and small businesses.

“Never in the 33 years we’ve been here have we seen anything like it,” said George George, co-owner of the Albany Sandwich Shop in the South End, who said his business this week is off by as much as 50 percent. “It’s like a snowstorm in the middle of summer, only in a snowstorm we get the plow drivers.” ”

Again, do I call ’em?
How many votes did the DNC just cost themselves in the Boston area just from ticking off the locals, I wonder?
