The pace of inaugural 'news' is quickening. They've announced the official ball venues, announced flight restrictions, announced the first winner of a citizen who gets to go to Inauguration Day and who will ride on the train with the Obamas and Bidens.
Meanwhile, north of the White House has become a construction zone,
where they are erecting seating and also the Inaugural Stands, where
the President will presumably review the parade. (see map).
We'll catch up on other subjects later but I thought I'd use up these photos before they're outdated. Last Saturday, I took a stroll through the White House area on the way to Georgetown and snapped these photos on Pennsylvania Ave, north of the building.
