A quick reminder if you’re headed downtown: southbound Speer is closed between I-25 and Lawrence Street, and the Auraria Parkway is closed between I-25 and Speer. For complete information on the street closures etc., see Judy’s convention newsletter.
Thanks to everyone who came out to the City-to-City Pachanga yesterday. It was a huge success all around, and a big thrill for the kids who worked on the DNC mural through the Boys and Girls Clubs. Judy helped facilitate that program and was glad to see all the participants get some recognition.
Here’s a late addition to the convention calendar: at noon on Wednesday, the Downtown Denver Partnership will sponsor the Democracy Read Out on the 16th Street Mall. Hundreds of volunteers will be reading a famous speech that Ben Franklin gave to the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention.
