With the Democratic National Convention and an attendant influx of protesters a week away, the city is suggesting businesses bring in loose planters, take down flags, and secure commercial dumpsters "to avoid misappropriation by demonstrators."
The city expects 35,000 to 50,000 protesters daily during the July 25-28 convention. Anticipated gathering spots include FDR Park, Marconi Plaza, Independence Mall, City Hall, and the Municipal Services Building.
Marches are planned down Broad Street and Market Street.
Simultaneously, Philadelphia is rolling out a literal multicolored carpet for visitors and delegates and hosting four days of live music along Broad Street. The Mural Arts project will debut a mile-long canvas on the Broad Street median.
The convention host committee, with an $80,000 grant from the Knight Foundation, will line Broad Street from Arch to Washington Streets with seven street-level pop-up spaces featuring musical performances and art displays from noon to 6 p.m. each day of the week.
At least four protests are planned down Broad Street during the same time. Organizers say artists and musicians will be instructed to halt when demonstrators come by.

Free concerts are like Xanex for the protestors. If they could get away with it, the DNC and Team Clinton would pass out free bags of heroin.
Let’s hope no one gets hurt,not real optimistic myself.
I will bet you that all these wikileaks leaks of DNC e-mails are going to get the ball rolling for the Bernie folks. And while I don’t want anyone to get hurt ( well at least not the cops), I hope that the DNC has full measure of “demonstrations” this coming week. Lots and lots of pepper sprayed morons!
Anything happen at the DNC it will be the fault of Trump clear down to the NRA.
Worked in Cleveland...
“The networks will get much higher viewership by showing what’s going on outside the arena than what’s going on inside.”
Who cares what’s going on inside the arena.....that’s just more of the same...hate cops, hate military, big chip on everyone’s shoulder because they weren’t given everything that their little hearts desired in life, it’s all the Republicans fault, etc. etc. etc.
Why would a bunch of lawless, anarchists, liberal, socialist, pinko commie geek, Muzzie supporting POSs, protest another bunch of lawless, anarchists, liberal, socialist, pinko commie geek, Muzzie supporting POSs? Aren’t they two sides of the same coin?
Gee. Why they protesting? They have had their first
African-American President of the United States?
Why? Why? Why? Ain’t he been the BEST THING SINCE SLICED
BREAD? - NOT white bread!! NOT white bread! BROWN bread!!!
Obama’s had just about eight years to FUNDAMENTALLY change
THINGS! WELL? ! !
Rolling out a multicolored carpet - they are racist against red, or trying to avoid Commie colors?
I think it will be a big fizzle because of the heat
The black top streets will be roasting
Who’s gonna protest ?
“I think it will be a big fizzle because of the heat”
Rising Mercury tends to cause lot’s of Lead to fly in the ghetto.
I’m not sure why there will be so many protesters there. If they didn’t show up for the RNC, why would they show up for the DNC? They know that Hillary - if elected - will move to the left.

It is just their mentality to burn their own stuff down.
What running shoes hath wrought.
