In Denver, protesters continue to be seen and heard. But today, they'll have to move from outside the Pepsi Center to near Invesco Field. That's where Obama will officially accept the nomination tonight.

During one protest, police dressed in riot gear lined the streets and warned shopkeepers to take off the sidewalks anything that could be broken or thrown. It turned out that it was a relatively peaceful protest.

Some residents will be glad to have it all end. "It's not very fun coming down to Denver and having to fight traffic, and people are protesting things, so it gets kind of crazy," one woman told us.

But there are others who haven't minded the closed streets. And with thousands of visitors, count restaurant and business owners among them.
