@sb – I remember they put up the “giraffe fences” on the numbered streets to keep people from entering the secure area before it was time. all the trash cans were temporarily removed too. we’ll see what is in store this time!
Have a friend who’s heading up radio communication on Inauguration Day who says the best time to get down there is at 7am. They’re going to do a “sweep” the night before clearing trashcans & mailboxes along the route, and another at 4am, clearing the area of all people/homeless/random stuff. Bundle up folks!
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
secret service stopped by today to tell me it would be a bit of a beeotch …
