Before the recent Democratic Convention, everyone was predicting that there would be mammoth traffic jams here in the Boston area, thanks to some roads being closed for security reasons.
Some feared that these closures would create traffic jams that would extend hundreds of miles from Boston.
But something else happened during Convention week.
The roads were almost completely devoid of traffic.
Much of Boston resembled the deserted backlot of an abandoned motion-picture studio. It was that empty.
Everybody who didn't have Convention-related business either stayed inside their homes or left town for the week.
Now that the convention is over, Boston will once again have it's notorious rush-hour traffic jams. And you know what? It will be great for the city to get back to normal.
