All too quiet on West 7th Street
Many St. Paul businesses along West 7th Street are disappointed by the drop-off in business they’ve experienced during the Republican National Convention.
And the letdown in sales during the week of the RNC hasn’t been for lack of trying.
The Glockenspiel restaurant, 605 W. 7th St., is adorned with a banner on its facade that says “WELCOME CONVENTIONEERS.”
Another sign advertises breakfast at 8 a.m. for the week of the RNC. Glockenspiel manager Rusty Hill says the breakfast was a one-time feature for the restaurant that was intended to draw RNC visitors. He staffed the breakfast with a bartender and server in addition to other staff.
