Yesterday Steve Perry and I ventured over to St. Paul to talk with staff and clients at the Dorothy Day Center, the homeless shelter, drop-in center and emergency foodshelf that sits across the street a few hundred feet from the arena where the GOP’s big swinging trunks will gather next Monday.

We learned that while the center will remain open during the Republican National Convention, it won’t exactly be business as usual. Details, and reactions from some of the people who hang their hats there, in this MnIndy video report.
