The Inauguration was on January 20. The Women’s March was January 21. What’s left when all the ceremonies, speeches and marches are over? Here’s what I saw on this wet and atmospheric Sunday morning:
The Capitol – with port-a-potties
The Smithsonian – with port-a-potties
The Washington Monument – with port-a-potties
Someone has to take them away
The Washington Monument with barricades
The Lincoln Memorial with barricades
More barricades to be packed off – The Mall, National Gallery of Art in the background
Debris on The Mall
A dumpster in the back of the National Gallery of Art, Constitution Avenue
A trashcan in full flower on Louisiana Avenue
A bleacher to be taken down – Pennsylvania Avenue looking toward the Capitol
Signs to be taken down – The Capitol
Signs to be taken down – around town
Signs on The Ellipse to be cleaned up – Herbert C. Hoover Federal Building in the background
The Ellipse with White House
More signs to be swept up
My kind of sign, a linguist’s dream: Vietnamese (Roman alphabet) and what looks like Thai or Lao.
Let the clean up begin.
