Haven't been in any locales w/ a high profile political visit since 9/11, but I'm sure it hasn't gotten any saner.
Once worked during a Reagan 'drive-through.' Downtown bar, had to get there at ungodly o'clock. Bossman thought we'd be packed, and for a change he was right. Served dressed-to-the-nines Republicans an unreal amount of bloody marys for two hours, watched them crowd the street facing windows for the thirty seconds it took for a tinted window limo to drive past, collected my surprisingly substantial tips and went back home to bed.
Watch it on TV is my hearty recommendation

Trust me, it hasn't. I'm in a 'critical swing state' (bite me) so we get both sides of the coin. Frequently. And even occasionally near my office. That sucks boulders."If your day is filled with firefighting, you need to start taking the matches away from the toddlers…” - HM

Quoth Amina516 View PostTimes like this I really value being able to walk to work. Miss the traffic and don't mind one bit."If your day is filled with firefighting, you need to start taking the matches away from the toddlers…” - HM

I had to deal with the ramifications of Obama being in town a few weeks back. Of course he was appearing at the convention center right on my Max line, right at the time I was going home

Thankfully, I live and work in an area that is unlikely to ever see a political motorcade roll through.
Though I do sometimes get to see the sideshow when somebody invades protected air space at LAX, since Long Beach is the closest southerly airport people get diverted to.

Oh man, I remember when Bush came to our town, we were trying to go eat at the local Outback with our buddies, and we got stopped by several police cars. They turned us away, and we were extremely confused, until we noticed a giant mass of very intimidating looking guys around the place.
We honestly thought there was a murder/robbery/something...up until we found out, nope, President Bush wanted a steak.
...lucky dude. We had to settle for mediocre riblets. :<
I just advise staying in home, grab frozen dinners if you have to. Avoid the chaos! LOLBy popular request....I am now officially the Enemy of Normalcy.

There was the time a certain Vice Presidential candidate did a book signing at our store.
That was fun. Especially given that we had a snowstorm hit the same day.
