Trump's stupid rally is hurting Phoenix businesses


The city has already announced that it plans to close the streets surrounding the Phoenix Convention Center, and additional traffic restrictions will be in place on Washington, Jefferson, and Van Buren streets. While doors don't open until 4 p.m. and the rally doesn't start until 7, it's safe to say that downtown will be crawling with cops and Secret Service agents all day long.

A number of county offices and downtown businesses have already announced plans to close early on Tuesday, citing road closures and parking restrictions.

My city was so beautiful and so full of love that night. The police and the secret service all seemed very happy. And the people went nuts. Everyone cried.

I can go there in my mind and not to Phoenix today.

celebrated along with the huge smiling crowds making thier way to the park that night. I think we floated there in my memory...I remember a rainbow of people in wheelchairs and walkers alongside skateboarders and big baby strollers passing by.
Yes there were some tears, but they were tears of awe and joy
Thank you for reminding me I can go there in my mind and relive it and not to Phoenix today
