Inauguration Day Planning - Anticipated Long Lines - Millions of People

Reading through the local news of my favorite Washington DC radio website, WTOP I came across this very interesting posting http://www.wtop.com/?nid=780&sid=1544907 concerning the upcoming Inauguration Day and planning for the masses of people who plan on attending. After reading this I have a recommendation to all who plan on attending - STAY HOME. I can only imagine how lengthy the lines will be...lol

Inauguration week is going to be a very interesting week around here starting on Saturday January 17th 2009 the weekend prior to inauguration that is when people will start arriving into this area. There is a Sunday January 18th welcome event, then you have to remember that Monday the 19th is a Federal Holiday - Martin Luther Kings Birthday so a lot of people have it off - there will be service events planned Then Tuesday the 20th is Inauguration Day. Here are another couple of links you might find interesting. http://www.wtop.com/nid=780&sid=1526353

This next link is an awesome website that gives a lot of history about the inauguration as well as other pertinent information.

Finally I have to work on MLK's Birthday and on Inauguration Day, I am looking forward to riding both the VRE and the Metro on those days - I'd rather do that than try to make the trip by vehicle.
