Bleachers now line Pennsylvania Avenue. Those white monstrosities in the photo have sprung up out of nowhere behind the Whitehouse. Construction workers are everywhere, outnumbered only by security personnel. Every hotel in town is booked. Hundreds of inaugural balls and events are taking place and every one of those venues is in a mad rush to the finish.
Every caterer in town is in overdrive. Every florist and party planner is running on caffeine. Taxi drivers are preparing for nonstop work and nonstop gridlock. Metro employees are preparing to run on a rush hour schedule all day long.
Mayor Fenty requested, and the outgoing prez granted, an emergency in DC so that the city could receive additional funds to finance all this madness. I hope they're ready.
