Republican National Convention: A week on the street in pictures

Paul Schmelzer has compiled a remarkable set of Flickr photo essays culled from the pictures taken this week by MnIndy reporters and photographers who were covering the convention in the streets outside Xcel Energy Center.

We hope you’ll take a few moments to go through them. Thanks for your tips, comments and feedback through the week. And thanks especially to the rowdy assemblage that contributed pictures and dispatches for us this week: Andy Birkey, Karl Bremer, Paul Demko, Mike Dvorak, Tom Elko, Sherri Flagg, Jeff Severns Guntzel, Tony Nelson, Steve Perry, Anna Pratt, Molly Priesmeyer, Britt Robson, Tim Roman, Peter S. Scholtes and Chris Steller.
