The police are here

Published Tuesday, February 5, 2008

The police have asked everyone parked on the street to move their cars. There must be hundreds parked on the streets around this community center. I am in the main room and not one person left to go move their car. One woman I interviewed said she called in sick to work today but she came here because she wants to be a part of history. Another lady, a soldier's wife, just moved here six weeks ago and brought her sick 10-month-old baby out into the cold to be a part of this.

People are getting testy about all of the speech-making and have started to shout "Let's get started."
