Conventions

The other day I read that it was a hundred years since the Democratic Party's convention was in Denver. Which got me wondering where it had been held in other years. Then I checked where the Republicans had held their shindigs. Seems like Chicago is a popular town. Oh, I dunno why I waste time doing this stuff; it just gets in my head, then I have to do it.

Blue is Democratic, rusty orange for the other lot. Maybe I should've added labels for cities, but, I'm just gonna assume that you know which cities are where.

Two reasons it's their kind of town.

Nice observations, Walt. There's no riot like a police riot... at least in Chi town.
