Honestly, I’ve found the convention to be like I would expect to find any swarm of tourists - annoying. West 7th St. is shut down, which has been a pain for me, and I’m sick of giving people directions to the Mall of America. There’s a lot else here besides some giant crappy mall.
Just asking ...
i’m a tourist, how do I get to the mall of america ?
Oh, you should tell them to visit the cathedral, it is fabulous.
