HAMILL PITTSBURGH — Worried about protests that typically surround the meetings of officials from the world’s 20 biggest industrial and emerging economies, Pittsburgh has asked 4,000 officers from across the country to supplement its 900-member police force for the Group of 20 meeting here next month. /snip

I only passed thru a few times on a bus.  The downtown is pretty.     Pittsburgh is maybe 4.5 hours from here- Philly 3.5 hours.

I am thinking the protests are going to be pretty big.  The city wont make money on this.   Who knows- it could be Seattle.

So you went home then.   How did that go?
