Getting From Maryland To DC On Inauguration Day

Many >Rockville Central friends and readers have told me they plan to make their way from Our Fair City down to the mall to take part in the festivities surrounding the Inauguration of President Obama.

Those in the know are forecasting serious travel difficulties, and I have heard from a number of people who are nervous about how to get there, when to go, what to do, etc.

There is a helpful piece today by the Washington Post’s “Dr. Gridlock” that gives good detail.

It also contains a sober warning:

“Marylanders have more choices, but they’ll need to make smart choices. And like everyone else, they have only one chance to get it right. If they don’t, they’ll miss the swearing-in, a flight from National, a doctor’s appointment or starting time at work — by a lot.”

If you have made plans to go down to DC on January 20, please consider sharing in the comments section, so others can benefit.

(For Rockville Central readers who cannot make it to DC that day, we plan to be at the Inauguration viewing hosted by the City. It’s in the council chambers at City Hall from 10 am until 2 pm. See you there!)
