Sounds like NYC when the UN gathers. The town is a nightmare then and it seems I always have business there at the same time, too.

Barbed wire fences, armoured vehicles, Blackhawk helicopter patrols, police, military and other assorted security forces. Most of the population has had to book off work from Friday to Monday because they're shutting down transit (including Union Station where train service from New York, Quebec and Western Canada will be disrupted) and the Lakeshore access roads. I lose a day's work on Friday because I won't be able to get to my part-time job on Yonge Street.
