Yet another logistical oddity:

D.C. police have now posted big red signs between 4th and 5th streets NW from Eye to L streets. The signs say: Warning! This area has been declared a PROSTITUTION FREE ZONE.

Well, I guess I'm glad we cleared that up. I was wondering where the prostitution zone was...

Hmmm, maybe the GOP Caucus?

The GOP should be angry by this intrusion of the government into entreprenurial business. Oh wait, they should also be angry that there are prostitutes. Help, I'm confused.

Normie,

I am coming to DC and will have a large suitcase (27") with me on Monday. I plan on taking the Metro from the Greenbelt station and will be on for about 6 stops. Do you think the trains will be so crowded that my suitcase will cause a problem?

I haven't rode the Metro in about 10 years and can't remember how they are configured inside.

Thanks!

I'm sad to see the fireworks missing from the schedule. That has been a great event both in person and on tv for every innaguration that I remember. Something about a fireworks show says America, sad they broke that tradition.

I have no idea, but I imagine you'll find a way to make it work if you have to. Don't try to bring a suitcase to the inauguration. It will be confiscated.

Yeah, you make a good point!

NO WAY would I do that, I couldn't even imagine bringing more than just myself there with all those people!

Thanks!!
