"It was good to know that she’s going to be here for a few days, so hopefully that will bring more money, more business," said Shalona Kennedy, assistant manager at Jimmy John's.

“It’s not a terrible thing“

That has to be one of the nicest things anyone’s ever said about Harris…

Very much doubt there are surging crowds to catch a glimpse of Harris. Those closed roads will keep out the usual customers and those businesses will suffer.

I have stayed at that hotel downtown for several days during business meetings. It is old-school elegance, but not very comfortable. (Other than their Lawrence Welk original bubble machine.)

For example, no self-serve coffee pots in the room - You must use room service to bring up one cup at a time from below. /lots of money
