Transformation

Not theology, just St. Paul.

I have been into St. Paul for work everyday this week, so I’ve been witnessing the transformation of the city as it prepares for the Republican National Convention.

Parking lots have transformed into television studios and staging areas. Billboards have gone up. Fencing has been placed along highways. Massive flags have been spray painted on grassy areas. Signs everywhere. Red, white, and blue everywhere. People in suits everywhere.

It has been fun to watch, but I’m going to save myself the headache and not go anywhere near St. Paul for the next week. It seems like the city will be pretty well barricaded, so I doubt they’d let me in even if I tried.
