Cleveland Paper Issues Survival Guide On Republican Convention: Basically Just Stay Out Of Cleveland

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:

Remember how excited we all were when Cleveland won the right to host the Republican National Convention?

Now that the convention is days away, the realization is starting to sink in. “Shoot! What am I going to do that week?”
