Washington, D.C. in overdrive preparing for Obama's historic inauguration - The Canadian Press
More at The Canadian Press: “WASHINGTON — A city already well-versed in pomp, circumstance and crowd control is in serious overdrive this week with just 13 days to go until millions of people descend upon the U.S. capital for Barack Obama's inauguration.
Almost as soon as the ballots had been counted after the Nov. 4 presidential election, D.C. moved into hard-core preparation mode for both Obama's historic Jan. 20 swearing-in and the weekend events leading up to it.
The city has been abuzz with workmen constructing barricades and bleachers on the parade route along Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol Building to the White House.
They were still busy Tuesday working on huge banks of bleachers on the western lawn of the majestic Capitol, where Obama will make his inaugural address overlooking both a sea of spectators and some of the world's most famous political landmarks.”
